Oh, yes. Your tactical situation has obviously become worse, you are more tired and just want the combat to end. Even if you are in a winning position, i.e. have more action points than your opponent, you are not as fresh and bloodthirsty as you were when the combat started.

right, flipped coins rather than rolled dice ;-)

While I agree in principle, I think it could easily become too clumsy a game
mechanic.
On the other hand, over a round of combat both participants have had the chance
to influence the total bid. Remember that an exchange can be a very short lapse
of time.
