Hi Damien. You are right Damien, indeed, that would imho improve the game.
also, to add strategical elements, you could considder a number of variable weapons, with different hit or miss probabilities, different levels of damage, and (possibly), more turns to load or equip. so for example you could have a grenade launcher, taking two turns to load, but doing a lot more damage, or a throwing knife, instant loading and as damaging as the gun, but more likely to miss. Depending upon how far you wanted to take this concept, you could considder some other ideas, such as you having an increased chance of being hit, or an increased amount of damage depending upon what weapon you last used and what your enemy hits you with. so for example, if your using a gun or a bomb or other ranged weapon your at a greater distance from the enemy, so less likely to be damaged than when your up close using the bullwhip, or another short range weapon such as a knife or chain saw. another possible factor you could play with might be the idea of it taking longer to change from one weapon to another depending upon what your using. so for example, it takes two hands to load a gun, thus you take an extra turn to pull out your whip, where as if you wished to throw a knife while using a bullwhip, you could do it instantaniously. All of these are possible ideas for making the combat in acefire more tactical. of course, there could stil be a random chance element (there is in most turn based combat systems, particularly those with dice), but with some of these sorts of things thrown into the mix, the player would have to think strategically as well, which imho is never a bad thing.
