Result (die + modifiers) higher than the class of the enemy: hit. Equal to his class: he recoils. Smaller than his class: missed.

If the enemys armour is higher than his class (armour 4 or armour 5) the die result should also be higher than his armour to hit him, otherwise he recoils."Natural 1" die roll: missed (even with good modifiers). "Natural 7"( = double natural 6) in Melee: hit (even with bad modifiers).

If two opponents roll simultaneously a "hit" result (or a "recoil" result), only the higher class one kills his enemy (or forces him to recoil). If they are sameclass, the highest armour (4 or 5) one kills his enemy (etc). If they are same class and armour, the one who rolled the highest natural die kills his enemy (etc).
