Sorry, I'm still lost as to what I should put in my program - looking after wife and child with colds has turned my brain to mush (or possibly my own cold did it without the need for further excuses).
Am I to understand that
1 - In a contest round, only the actor/bidders edge is considered and only when the actor/bidder wins
except
2 - If the opposer/non-bidder takes an edge on a "defensive" skill, then that edge should be treated as a handicap on the actor/bidder.
Have I missed something?
regards,
Charles
