I like this a lot. It gets rid of a whole "layer" of rolls in combat,
which seems to be the point.

On the other hand it sort of ignores the Speed stat, which is obviously
not the intent of the system (the idea seems to be that the stats each
have a game function).

So I might add in something like... If someone has twice the speed of
their opponent they get the same benefit they would from taking a 10%
penalty. If they have three times their oppoinent's speed, they get the
equivalent of a 20% bonus, etc. [all for the purposes of initiative only]

Take care,

Liam
