In your later example, you showed what I meant:

Since A has a spear, why are you letting B go first by virtue of having a spear too?

(In RAW, the defender already has an advantage of +2DX here, which in this case would mean a roll-off to see who goes first. But maybe that's part of what you want to simplify?)
