I am working on writing up a combat example to release as a freebie once it is complete.
I have 5 PreGenerated characters coming across 4 Kobolds.
Some quick thoughts and comments so far.
Round 1 -- both groups were surprised, so all they could do is move in to melee range. The spell caster of the group did NOT advance to melee range.
Round 2 -- PCs fought smartly, most of them putting points into Parrying. One performed a Riposte (since he was the only one whose Init would have normally allowed him to act first. The round ended with some damage to 3 of the 4 Kobolds. One of the 3 received Critical Damage (and 2 of them ended up disarmed).
Round 3 -- a third Kobold has been disarmed, and one has been knocked down to a single hit (plus bleeding which makes him pass out in Phase 1 of Round 4). another has been reduced to less than half their hits, so is now Bruised (-4) to action (this happened before HIS attack takes place), so he cancels his action, turns and runs away.
Round 4 -- the remaining Kobodls also run away. And the PCs let them go, since none of thier folks were hurt.
I should have the PDF ready in a couple of days.
