When the war broke out, I'd been unemployed for over a year. With dread i watched the news of the upcoming conflict. I was hoping against hope it would not come.

Your character's chance to successfully deal damage in melee combat is decided by a number of things: the combat proficiency of your character, whether or not you have a melee weapon equipped and whether the opponent is equipped with a weapon (melee weapons effect this more heavily than guns.)

Best - Roman.
Highest rate of success when attacking in melee. Roman is able to instantly kill a passing target from a hiding spot with any weapon including his bare hands, he's also able to instantly kill any target from behind with a melee weapon.

Above Average - Arica, Boris, Police Officer.
Above average rate of success when attacking in melee. Arica, Boris and the Police Officer are able to instantly kill a passing target from a hiding spot with any weapon including their bare hands, they're also able to instantly kill any target from behind with a melee weapon, although Arica and Boris can't do that with a Crowbar.

Average rate of success when attacking in melee. Emilia, Marko and Pavle are able to instantly kill from a passing target from a hiding spot with any weapon although can't instantly kill from behind, while Bruno and Marin can do it from a hiding spot with any weapon but a Crowbar.
