I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but since the battlecode changes
monsters seem to occasionally get an extra round of combat after the first
round. So second round is often monster getting its hits but you not doing any
hits...or is this my imagination?

What it appears is that the first round of combat that you start, you hit then
the monster hits, then the next round the monster hits you first then you hit
back. So it looks like some sorta crappy splice of the starting round of
combat with normal combat rounds or something. Used to when you attacked a
monster, it swung first hten you swung, and it kept repeating afterwards.
Sooooo...the net effect is that overall, you still get the ssame number of
attacks and so does the monster, just the order is backwards for round 1. But
what do I know, i'm a stoopid newbie mortal. But I REALLY like hearing myself
ramble. Have a freakin great day.
