Ah, don't you just love it when we august 'Rules Consultants' try to understand the rules, in public? ;-)

The basic idea is that you're gambling all your APs and part of your ability to boot, in exchange for the chance to win more decisively, if you win the exchange.

The example on p225 is shortish, but reasonably clear. The explanation is terms of edges is somewhat confusing, since the whole point of edges is they apply to one person, not to both, and with strikes, the 'edge' always applies.

In a nutshell: the loser of the exchange always loses an _extra_ number of APs equal to the APs of the attacker; if this reduces them to 0AP, then they suffer the 'special effect' of the strike. Thus for example, being dead, in the above case. (I'm not sure this is intended the affect the _Humakti_ is he loses, in this case, but perhaps it'd only be poetic justice...)

Cheers,
Alex.
