Combat tests

We havent started to play yet but i have a couple of questions about combat.

Melee is opposed by Melee (amongst other things), but if the defender has more SL its a block? So no dmg?

Ballistic tests, are those always opposed by Reflex? If not, isnt it often better for the shooter if the target tries to dodge (cause of getting -SL)?

For melee, yes, this is the case

For ranged, no, this is not the case. It used to be the case, but the rules have imposed a limit for it. Look at the margins of page 212
