Re: (TFT) Active Defense: the Block

[<dwtulloh61@cox.net>]

I seem to recall something in Steve Jacksons discussion regarding
the development of GURPS that he initially did something similar:
You roll to attack ... the defend rolls to defend.

Although it more accurately modelled combat, his playtesters didn't
like it becase it was "too much die rolling."  Personally, I disagree.
So while I would argue for something similar to what you are
proposing, you may be facing an uphill climb with players wanting
to resolve combat in a single die roll.  (which can be done - but 
you have to use a handful of multi-colored dice to do it)
