I've been thinking about similar "bidding" mechanics for combat, like the one in the CRPG version of Steve Jackson's Fighting Fantasy books: your opponent telegraphs something about their intention, and you choose to Attack or Defend, bidding a certain amount of Power. The game is a min-maxing exercise: you want to Defend using small amounts of Power to wear your opponent down, then use your Power reserves to out-Attack him, then rinse and repeat as needed. I think there's a lot to be said for these "push your luck" mechanics for tense combat. And of course different opponent types may require different tactics.
