Think of a turn as having three stages. Most actions take place only in the first stage. Any second or third actions take place in successive stages after this. Thus, if one guys is shooting a gun three times in a turn while his opponent only fires once, they would each determine initiative normally and then each take their first shots. Then, the guy with the multiple actions would resolve his second and third shots. If the opponent was also firing multiple times, initiative would be resolved normally for each action: everybody takes their first actions, then everybody takes their second actions, then everybody takes their third actions. There are no special initiative penalties simply for performing multiple actions.

Below are some suggestions on optional rules for multiple actions. These are based on the theory that multiple actions take place almost simultaneously.

• All actions take place as if they were taking place seperately, on their initiatives as per normal, except that once one action has been taken, the next can be no sooner than 2 initiatives later.
• All actions take place as if they were taking place seperately, on their initiatives as per normal, optionally actions maybe delayed until after other multiple actions.
• All actions take place on the SLOWEST initiative of the multiple actions being performed.
