Your depiction left out one major part of the sequence: you normally get to go
desperate before the 'kill intent statement' is issued.  This is VERY
important, because it allows you to go from a 10-10-10 to a 3-3-3 BEFORE the
roll is made.  I'm convinced that the KD you're running IS an influence on
making/failing the roll.

One of my good friends insists, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to
the contrary, on running desperation strategies even MORE offensive than
whatever got him in trouble in the first place.  Sometimes it works, I'll give
him that.  More often than not, however, he gets his fighters killed.  I have
compassionately informed him what an idiot he his and laugh at each 'godling'
he looses.

Supposedly, the chance of dying in the infirmary is 5% times your will.  I'm
not sure where I heard that.  (I discovered the 'death sequence' all by myself,
thank you) :D
