Initiative per the RAW in Moldvay Basic was a simple D6 roll per side. There were a few exceptions (two handed weapons and zombies struck last) but otherwise no modifiers. A tie on the initiative roll meant everything happened at once no matter who actually mechanically resolved their action first.  Opposing spellcasters would both get to have their spells cast sometimes resulting in cool situations such as party A largely being put to sleep just as a fireball detonates within party B. No matter what the effects of the spells were, combatants on both sides got to complete their actions. At the end of the round, all casualties took effect and only those still standing participated in the following round. It was great for those Mexican standoff situations.</blockquote>
