Melee combat explained

[Sarge]

I read the comprehensive post of dev's on the new ranged combat system which made it easy to understand.

I can't however find one for melee combat that addresses the formulas for chance to hit, damage, the different weapon types (IMM's is it?) and which moves and or attacks are driven by melee and which by unarmed (eg. I seem to recall someone telling me that sidestep uses unarmed stat and block uses melee).

Is this info available and if so any idea where please?

I have only used unarmed a few times, the first was when I punched a deer and missed, me and my friends then re-enacted Dunkirk. The second time, I saw a hunter with a trapped bear, I moved in in my boat, punched it and then ran away, so I can't realy tell you much about melee, but what is this about the ranged?

Thanks, but I'm still keen to know what the formula's are... but it seems that they are not public knowledge then
