Okay, this may get complicated.<br/><br/>Frank and Linwood (so far) are facing off.  Linwood has declared that he's going to whap Frank with his tire iron.  No problem there.<br/><br/>Frank, being a Made Man here for the kill, is probably going to shoot whoever's interrupting his hunt for Flowers.<br/><br/>Linwood rolls his Stamina, which determines both his initiative and the outcome of his declared action.  So does Frank.<br/><br/>Linwood gets 7,5,3,3,2,2.<br/><br/>Frank gets 10,4,3.  Frank will be going first.  Linwood may now choose to abort his action and get to roll a full defense, or suck it up and roll only one lonely die to ward off the effects of a .22 bullet to the chest.<br/><br/>For the record, the other Made Man got 8,2,2, and poor Flowers got 4,1.  Lucky for Linwood that the other soldata is focusing on his designated target at the moment, and Flowers is running for it.
