The Madness Dossier - Trial combats 5 and 6

      Here are a couple more of the test combats I did a while back, between a Sandman commando and a Scorpion-man from GURPS Horror: The Madness Dossier. Both were rather short. Test 6 was over in one turn!

    For the combats, 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.
