It's very simple: the character that loses initiative on the first turn of
melee combat does not have their combat pool refreshed on their first
action but instead has it refreshed on their second action (even if that
second action is in the next turn) . Thereafter, pools refresh on every
action as per normal.

This means the two opponents start with full pools (starting anyone with
less is almost always deadly for that character, as the initiator of this
thread commented) but then grants an advantage to the initiative winner.
