As is, the rules just say 'split the CP between the opponents'. How exactly does this work... does it mean that if you are the aggressor you may take two attacks, or may you defend against one, even though you are the aggressor. Also, what happens if the two opponents aren't performing the same type of action - if one is attacking and the othe ris defending, what is the victim doing?

well ive always been under the impression that you can do as many things as you have dice for, and as long as you retain the initiative... but i could be wrong

It works just like against one opponent, only there's two.
If you decide to attack, you can attack both opponents at once, but you can only attack.
If you decide to defend, then you may only defend, and you will probably have to take two seperate attacks at once.

I basically just divide the pool into 2 parts and run it as if two combats were happening at once. That fits with Talhoffer's descriptions of two-on-one pretty well.

You can't do as many things as you have dice for...2 exchanges is maximum amount per combat round.

My thought on this, is simple.
1: full attack on A
2: Karma dodge B
