Got the entry, thanks. Must have overlooked. After all those years
some things always slip past you.

Not quite. First you declare that you are on full defense. Than you
roll apropiate Combatskill dice without Combatpool. If you have not
beaten than you roll a dodge with the TN# beeing 4 but you use also
the meleemodifiers table on Page 123 SR3rd. And in there stands on the
6th position counting from above "Character is wounded".
