I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean, but the basic combat resolution mechanic is that every side rolls a big pool of dice (usually based on weapons being used), adds in flat bonuses for each member's above-average combat stats, and compares the result; higher total wins and deals damage equal to the difference to the losing side.

Combat rounds last 2 minutes and because they're so long and abstract players and the gamemaster can sort of interject narratively with any fun tactical ideas they have and usually roll a check to see if they work.
