Hi Tom, Dungeons and dragons has a way of randomizing how battles are played. At the beginning of each round of play everyone rolls initiative and those with the lowest roll goes first. This is modified by the time it takes to do an attack. So a swing of a dagger will take a shorter time than a swing with a large sword. In Star Trek you could have the same system in that all moves are planned, then the random initiative factor sets who goes first. If the enemy decides to knock out your torpedoes and you plan on launching them on the same move and they go first then you either have no torpedoes to shoot or they blow up our ship! Smiles, Phil
