  <para>Sometime, either because the GM aren't interested to take more

    time than necessary or because the combat is too much a mess to

    give a coherent description, it is more interesting to rule out a

    fight quickly and simply taking into account the general intention

    of the PC (to flee, to defend, to destroy everything) and to make

    a single roll for the whole battle.  This method try to address

    this kind of situations, but as all generalization, take a good

    judgement from the GM and a bit of preparation.</para>

  <para>Briefly, when there is a fight, each adversary decide of their

    <link linkend="sbagchoix">intentions</link> for the rest of the

    combat and the GM group each of them with their corresponding

    choice.  After this, the GM sum up all the whole group, which

    became the Fighting Group, and roll the dice for each group

    against this adversary (and yes, in a fight, we also fight against

    yourself!).  If an adversary is particularly strong, the GM can

    exclude her from the Fighting Group and roll the dice for this

    particular adversary.  But this should be a rare case.  The result

    is then determine normally with the result.</para>
