Feel no pain (FNP) for melee/fighting

[MichaelJAndy]

It's pretty frequent that 5+ or 6+ FNP rules are provided to operatives, and would add to their approximate wound count. One thing to note is that there's a complexity to account for given that FNP rolls in some ways stack so a unit that's dealing less damage per hit would be less likely to kill a unit with a 5+ FNP than anther unit that's dealing more damage per hit, even if the total damage produced for retained dice across both scenarios is equal. The reason for this is because FNP rolls are performed at the end of each hit, not at the end of combat itself.

FNP is implemented for shooting. Are you requesting FNP be implemented for melee/fighting?

[MichaelJAndy]

Yes

[jmegner]

Implementing FNP with the smarter fighter strategies probably won't happen. I can take a look at how painful it would be to implement FNP for "Always Strike/Parry".

FNP in melee is a big pain with an analytical approach (as opposed to Monte Carlo). I can try to take a look to see the least painful way to implemented for the simple "always strike/parry" fighter strategies.

Awesome, thank you!
