    12   <para>Sometime, either because the GM aren't interested to take more
       
    13     time than necessary or because the combat is too much a mess to
       
    14     give a coherent description, it is more interesting to rule out a
       
    15     fight quickly and simply taking into account the general intention
       
    16     of the PC (to flee, to defend, to destroy everything) and to make
       
    17     a single roll for the whole battle.  This method try to address
       
    18     this kind of situations, but as all generalization, take a good
       
    19     judgement from the GM and a bit of preparation.</para>

    21   <para>Briefly, when there is a fight, each adversary decide of their
       
    22     <link linkend="sbagchoix">intentions</link> for the rest of the
       
    23     combat and the GM group each of them with their corresponding
       
    24     choice.  After this, the GM sum up all the whole group, which
       
    25     became the Fighting Group, and roll the dice for each group
       
    26     against this adversary (and yes, in a fight, we also fight against
       
    27     yourself!).  If an adversary is particularly strong, the GM can
       
    28     exclude her from the Fighting Group and roll the dice for this
       
    29     particular adversary.  But this should be a rare case.  The result
       
    30     is then determine normally with the result.</para>
