The Madness Dossier - Trial combat 2

    Here is the second of the test combats I did between a Sandman commando and a Scorpion-man. The final victory was the same as the first run, but it took more bullets and this time the human got wounded.

    For the combat, I measured the distance but didn't use a battlemap as there were only 2 combatants and I wasn't using terrain as a complication. I started the combatants close enough to allow for both ranged and melee possibilities. I gave the Sandman the benefit of going first.
