Something I thought of in combination with my re-write of the 1E Tactics skill would be to only require an initiative roll when either side declares a Tactical re-roll. This would be little different than requiring an Initiative roll every round, but would add the incentive for both sides to keep track of it, as the tactical initiative has the potential to be a real game changer for either side.

IIRC, wound penalties, don't impact initiative, as its based on an attribute roll.. much like wound penalties don't impact Per resistance vs force, or str resistance vs damage.

Per R&E p.78, Initiative does not count as an action towards MAP calculations, but wounded penalties do count. My error in missing that for years is what this thread is about.

I have the PCs roll Initiative every round, really it isn’t that hard. Now the villains though I’ll roll in groups. So the Storm Troopers will roll as one and the Leader will have a separate roll. I remember playing Battletech and we only rolled once for a game and it stunk if you had a horribly low initiative.
