Momentum succeeds, achieving the goal. The winner then reduces his
Momentum by an amount equal to the losers Momentum. If there are no
other factors involved, the difficulty of a Struggle is usually Simple (D0), or
Average (D1) when attacking and defending in combat.

Page 15 Struggles: second paragraph, replace with In the case of a tie, the player
character wins against any NPC, unless the NPC is willing to spend one point

character makes an attack, compare the Reach of the weapon he is using with
the Reach of his opponents weapon (opponents choice). The defender is

defender has Guard, then the difficulty of the attack increases by one step for
every point the defenders Reach is longer than the attackers (D1 to D2, for
example). If the defenders Guard has been lost, then the attacker gains
+1d20 for every point of Reach less than the defender, having slipped past
the defenders weapon or shield.
