The least amount of combat can be an asset in most modern day/fighting has
consequences chronicles. In most my games I run it that way, but I see Hell
on Earth as more brutal and harder to survive. Combat is unavoidable (you
can talk a human down but the abomination aren't really very good
listeners). While not every game session results in a fight, I've had more
combat in this game than most others. While there may be more combat I've
found that the Role-playing hasn't suffered only enriched by the difference
in the way we play.
