I like it too. Definitely preferable to a high defensive edge, which leads us towards interpreting APs as hit points and AP losses as wounds, making for a rather static fight. With the final action, you can still knock the guy about, get him on the defensive, stagger him with a flurry of blows, "win" the fight -- and *then* find out that you can't kill your opponent without beheading him. Whereas a big defensive edge makes him too close to invulnerable for my comfort.
Cheers, Nick
