Great stuff scc. I was looking through your conversion notes and I didn't see how you were working Combat Advantage in MnM? Are you using flanking and such as well?

[scc]

That is true forgot to put it in my notes. Combat advantage would be if the character was prone, dazed, surprised etc. Not sure about flanking. Need to add that to my conversion notes. Thanks.
