I think the main reason to have a wounding scheme is so that a victorious combatant might come out of a combat with hurts and injuries in a way that the vanilla AP contest would not allow. Rather than using the negative APs that an opponent is driven down to you might consider the APs lost in the fight.

	While I am a big fan of the basic principle, I'm not entirely happy
	with the way in which wound ratings are calculated and imposed.
	
	During a contest, I believe that the goal of both participants is to
	win the contest. Inflicting a wound instead of robbing APs is not
	directly furthering the goal of winning the contest in strict HQ
	rules terms.
	
	How about waiting untill the combat is over. The negative APs you
	drive your oponent down to (includign cou de grace) equals the rating
	of the wound. I think this should be the primary mechanism by which
	wounds are inflicted.
	
	If we want a secondary mechanism, replacing the 7AP for a -1
	tradeoff, that's fine but I think it should very much be a secondary
	chhoice. After all, you still need to win the contest even if you
	inflict a nasty wound.
