Combat: Brawls

Brawls
Brawls are big piles of actors all punching and stabbing one another.

Entering a Brawl
When an actor ends a move adjacent to an enemy, either may choose start a brawl. If an actor ends a movement adjacent to an actor already in a brawl, it must enter the brawl.

Shooting into a Brawl
An actor outside a brawl can shoot into it. An actor may shoot into a brawl if it could should any actor participating in the brawl. Actors in a brawl always have cover vs incoming fire. Attacks target a random actor within the brawl. Explosive weapons always hit all actors in the brawl.

Actions in a Brawl
Most CQC and Grapple attempts only work in brawls. Ranged weapon skills can never be used in brawls.

Moving in a Brawl
As an action, an actor may move up to its speed to a square adjacent to an actor within this brawl. The actor is still engaged in the brawl.

Leaving a Brawl
As an action, an actor may leave a brawl (unless they are grabbed). If the actor does not use another action to move away from the brawl, it is sucked back in at the end of the turn. If there are no living enemies in a brawl, it immediately ends.
