"Doubled" result

[Fab]

In a few cases the meaning of "doubled" should be clarified IMHO.

For example : two Bad Horses fight each other in difficult terrain, both with one overlap on the flank and one overlap on the rear (quite uncommon, I admit). The first player rolls 1, the second rolls 2. The final result is (+2-2-1-1+1)=-1 to (+2-2-1-1+2)=0.
Is the first Bad Horses doubled ?

Geeze, I hate superspecial cases.

Ya, we should probably put some text in there to cover that (really rare) case.

Although we could just say "hey, if your modified roll is a 0, you're just DEAD DEAD DEAD." That would be amusing.

But if my modified result is 0 and yours is -1, YOU are dead !!

So you could say that any positive result doubles a 0 result and a 0 result doubles any negative result. Would that be correct?

Sure, although then how do negative results compare to other different negative results?

No matter what, it is a very rare occurrence. Which means it doesn't matter much how we solve it, so long as it is clear and clean and doesn't add much length to the rules.

Maybe the simplest would be "any modified result less than 1 is doubled by any result that beats it."

I like that idea....
