At least things aren't as difficult to resolve as in the HERO system
(Champions, etc.) where after a typical hero calls on a normal soldier
to surrender, they have to stand there and give up two or three full
actions waiting to see if they will (it takes that long for the normal
to move, you see).

Off topic, I know.  I was just thinking along the lines of ridiculous
surrender rules ;)
