The large body of work on stochastic duels represents an attempt to model combat situations, or parts of it, by means of formal probability models. Most, but not all, of the existing stochastic duel models, however, relate to static posture and fail to capture dynamic aspects as well as tactical considerations that may be present. In this article we propose a simple model of a two‐on‐one duel in which dynamic and tactical aspects are considered. The model represents a combat situation that is typical of a battle in which a maneuvering force attacks a smaller defending unit that is static.
