I would think that would be worse. Whole squadrons
would dissappear before getting the chance to fire
just on a roll of the dice (initiative). I liked
the initiativeless approach because luck was less
of a factor. It was planning that seemed to be
accentuated -- deciding who to fire at. Besides
the mechanics of deciding who fires first takes
time that we didn't have in this small test game.
