Jeremy: Ah yes. On an initial tie, both blows land. Both of you have the chance to disengage. If both of you want to keep fighting, both reroll.
The math, all else being equal, is just:
If your losing roll is a 1, you win the reroll 1 time in 6.
If your losing roll is a 2, you win the reroll 1 time in 3.
If your losing roll is a 3, you win the reroll 1 time in 2.
If your losing roll is a 4, you win the reroll 2 times in 3.
If your losing roll is a 5, you win the reroll 5 times in 6.
Basically you'll be able to tell at once whether your opponent landed that first blow because she got lucky, or because you're in a bad position, and decide what to do next accordingly.
JMendes: Yes! I'd expect pretty much every fight to be over in 1-3 rolls.
