Abstract
In this paper we study a variant of the Nuel game (a generalization of the duel) which is played in turns by players. In each turn a single player must fire at one of the other players and has a certain probability of hitting and killing his target. The players shoot in a fixed sequence and when a player is eliminated, the ``move'' passes to the next surviving player. The winner is the last surviving player. We prove that, for every , the Nuel has a stationary Nash equilibrium and provide algorithms for its computation.
