Argh, my table got scrambled.

Trying again:
Tie = both win or lose
Win = one loses, other wins
Advantage = win or tie with a crit or your opponent fumbles Both players have a 1/400 (.25%) chance that they will crit and their opponent fumbles (lumped into advantage)

Tie                50%

Tie (advantage '15') 3%
Tie (advantage '10') 6%
10' Wins        13%
with advantage         1%
15' Wins        38%
with advantage         3%
