It's just that if the strong one has a high fighting ability, I still view it more direct to take his AP. But I won't defend my case to the death :)

Hmmm. Indeed, in two years play, we never had a conflict with more than a dozen round (at most, for a fight truly magical et heroic). But I never had to narrate something involving whole army units either... Clashes between small units of a few dozens of persons, maybe.

Indeed. I think I will try to use it, just to test. Do you want me to tell my players the suggestion is yours, for the next time you come and sleep in my house ? :p
