Yes but David, every combat?! However, I agree with Mike that some mechanic that allowed you to win but maybe suffer some kind of deleterious effect could be cool. But I still think that its not necessary.

I would suggest that this is, in fact, disingenuos. :^)

Name a system that purports to be realistic and I'll debunk your notion in a paragraph!!

Heroquest is always far more realistic because the human beings interperet the results in a way that is perfectly reasonable to them in context of the genre. Games where antagonists stand on the same spot and hit each other until one falls over are not, I would suggest.
