I thought I might create a consolidated thread for this sort of thing.
QUESTION: I am attacking an opponent, but I and my three allies really only need to get past him to achieve our goal (continue the chase of someone else). I decide that I want to give him a whack with the butt end of my musket and knock him over. I want to wound him so that he is less of a problem for my friends but leaving him prone would be best. Which of the following is true?
