So Joe rolls vs the game, Barry rolls vs the game and Ted rolls vs the game. So that's three contests right? Somehow i'm getting the impression it might just be one big contest which which somehow gets adjudicated.

I was actually wondering whether I could use this system to run a WW2 wargame! That is, give each player their troops and the units would have Keywords like Hardened Veterans, Trained Professionals, Reluctant Conscripts, Green, Camoflage, etc. And abilities like Crack Shot, Tough as Nails, Leads from the Front, To Hell and Back, Tank Ace, etc.

I think I get this, it was just that example I don't think if the Archer is trying to shoot a guard I don't think dagger guy or Javelin Feat guy are augments. To me they are alternative ways to take out the guard, the Javelin Feat sounding like the best option. To me, and augment would be casting Sureshot on the guy so he couldn't miss, or silence to prevent the guard from calling out - though that isn't really part of the same action but a separate [automatically successful?] action.
