At this point, I'll be the third person to tell you to try the Gold-Box games if you want real AD&D combat. Forget anything from the Infinity Engine.
Is that true? I keep seeing this but it doesn't seem to be true. BG, by including weapon and spell speeds allows for something close to simultaneous turns and effects happening at the same time, which is something that should happen in classic D&D if you are playing it right (most people didn't, though.) There's, for example, an initiative example in AD&D 2nd edition about a mage and his enemy being hit or dying at the same time, being hit just as he finally casts his spell. This can happen in Infinity engines (sniping a mage just after he casts his magic missile, which kills the archer that killed him.)
