Simplifying the initiative (dealing out and collecting the cards always took too much time) would make it even faster.

Thanks. I'm familiar with Savage Worlds (I mentioned it and Fate in the original post) - I agree it could possibly work, but I was wondering if there were other games out there besides Fate and SW that also handled this.
