Re: Good initiative mechanics?

Simon Smith posts, in part:

  Qucik follow-up before I forget; maybe something to
  look at is to give unengaged opponents a significant
  skill bonus? Then there's an incentive to spread
  one's attacks as widely as possible.

I think that would help.  In real infantry battles, most ammunition is
expended just to force the opponents to keep their heads down so they
can't shoot back at you as accurately.
