Workable. IMG if it was a simple contest factors like edges etc. might well get ignored. Simple often implies to me - let not work all those factors out - as much as not playing out every blow in the contest. I might just give one side or the other a 'off the top of my head' bonus to an ability to represent a superior situation in terms of euqipment/terrain/tactics etc.

AFAIK it has yet to be an issue in play for us though.
