The opponent has to roll a critical to gain APs. Maybe he was just momentarily stunned? Maybe an adrenalin surge kicked in when you swung for him again? Maybe he was playing dead, hoping you'd go away and stop pummelling him? This *was* a problem in earlier version of the combat chance, where many more AP transfers were likely.
