Combat Question

[Chad Underkoffler]

Hidey-ho, all.

     I've just received Unknown Armies this week, and have been very
slowly working my way through it, due to work and grad school
concerns. I have run across a question, however, and if anyone can
give me a hand, I'd appreciate it...

     * In UA combat, you essentially roll for initiative to find out
who goes first every combat round, right?

     * To attack, you roll vs. your applicable skill, right? If you
succeed, you hit, the target has no chance to parry, block, or dodge?
And if you want to dodge, you give up your attack for that round and
roll against dodging, right?

     * Is there anything like a parry or block in the system, any
in-round defense other than dodging?

     * It seems then that faster characters will be the ones always 
attacking, unless the slower ones get lucky. Is that intentional?


     Thanks for any input.
