Pistol duel

[Nickofalltrades]

Hello!
Admitedly I don't play Rock Paper Scissors that often, but I was wondering if anyone on this forum would be kind enough to help me with a game of similar nature as RPS.

This game is called Pistol Duel.

Basically, there are three options which both players need to submit: Fire, Reload and Cover.
The thing is, these options are played with limited supplies. In order to Fire, you need a bullet, and in order to get bullets, you need to Reload. However, if you Reload while the opponent Fire, you will lose. You only get to Reload a total of 10 bullets. And of course, Cover is used to avoid bullets, but you can only use it four times in a row.

So, in order to recoop:
- You can only use Fire as many times as you have Reloaded minus the amount of times you have Fired ( plus one, since you start with a bullets )
- You can only Reload a total of ten times per game
- You can only Cover four times since the last other option
- The game will continue until either someone is hit or both parties runs out of bullets

Seems simple? Not exactly, since due to some complicated circumstances of this game, it is also necessary not only to win, but to win while the opponent has wasted as many bullets as possible, and without you yourself wasting any bullets.


Any ideas?

this game seems to mimic Restricted RPS demonstrated at the LURPS tournament last week.

Question:

due to some complicated circumstances of this game, it is also necessary not only to win, but to win while the opponent has wasted as many bullets as possible, and without you yourself wasting any bullets.

This sounds like, for example, each round players gain 10 points if they shoot their opponent, and lose 1 point for each bullet fired during the round. My question is, does it affect the points total if you load bullets that you don't fire? E.g. do you gain fewer (or more) points if you end the round with 7 bullets in your gun compared with 1?
