From this we can see that a soldier who decides to end the turn without spending any time units will often have a much higher chance to react than one that has little to no time units remaining.

			This also show units with low reactions have a fighting chance at competing against an enemy with vastly superior reactions skills.

			Reaction Fire or Opportunity Fire is the ability for a unit that is not currently taking its turn to override the other side and make an attack against it. Thus the name opportunity fire.

			== Reaction Level ==

			A unit's reactions are a measure of the unit's ability to react, but this is only a part of a whole.

	'''Current Reaction Score = ([[Reactions]] Stat) × (Current [[Time Units]] / Max TUs) '''		'''Current Reaction Score = ([[Reactions]] Stat) × (Current [[Time Units]] / Max TUs) '''

	Your reaction score, also known as ~~your~~ ''initiative'', is ~~your~~ reaction stat multiplied by the percentage of ~~your~~ remaining TUs.		Your unit's actual reaction score, also known as ''initiative'', is the reaction stat multiplied by the percentage of remaining TUs. Here Max TUs refers to the maximum number of TUs that can be regenerated each turn.

	As you spend time units on any actions, ~~your~~ initiative weakens by a percentage of how many ~~remaining~~ time units ~~you have left~~.		As you spend time units on any actions, initiative weakens by a percentage of how many time units were spent for that action against the maximum possible time units.

	~~For~~ example~~, if~~ you have 50 Reactions ~~and have spent 50% of your TUs~~, you ~~will~~ only be able to use 25 ~~points~~ out of ~~your~~ 50 ~~Reaction points to defend against reaction fire~~.		If for example you have 32 of 64 Time Units and 50 Reactions, you are therefore only able to use 50% of your reaction level, or 25 out of the 50.

	A soldier who decides to end the turn without spending any time units will often have a much higher initiative level than one that has ~~run out~~ of time units ~~running across the field~~. This means the less time units spent, the higher your ~~initiave will remain~~.		Let's say one step is taken, costing 4 TUs.

			(32 - 4) / 64 = 0.375.

			50 * 0.375 = 18.75.

			Rounded down to the nearest integer, you will now only have 18 of 50 reaction to defend against reaction fire.

			From this we can see that a soldier who decides to end the turn without spending any time units will often have a much higher initiative level than one that has spent most if not all of the time units. This means the less time units spent, the higher your chance to react.

			Offensive reactions is the exact opposite, it occurs when you are not taking your turn to perform attacks of opportunities against enemy targets that have a lower initiative.

As soon as any unit on the waiting side jumps up in the queue above any unit on the moving side it will counter with a reaction shot as long as it meets all the conditions to perform the shot.

This whole process keeps going until the end of the turn, and is repeated with the sides swapped. The process starts over again at the start of the next turn.
