Combat question

By Veross, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hello!

I have a question regarding combat.

Let us say I fight creature with Toughness=3. In first round I managed to hit 2 Wounds. As creature does not die, I got X wounds (Stamina Loss) as a penalty. Then there is next combat round - in next round, do I need to score 1 wound (what left over 1st round) to kill creature; or I need to (again) hit 3 wounds?

Please advise;

Thanks;

Konrad

hits do not carry over. if you fail to kill it on first combat round, you have to start the next combat round fresh again. in your example, you still have to hit it thrice. (also, if you used clue tokens in the first try and still failed, those are lost and are not transferred to be used in the second/upcoming combat rounds too).
