Step one:
Someone declares a combat action. Could be either side. (THe one lack, an initiative system.)
Step 1A: Interrupt - if the other side wishes to interrup, they roll now, and it goes back to their step one; they, too can be interrupted.. After they are done, it goes to step 2 for the original.
Step 2: Roll to hit.
step 3: if hit, figure damage. Quality of Hit mod, x Armor vs Pen Mod, x Damage listed. Apply to hits.
Step 4: go back to step one
