As a Brit here (but not a comma expert!) from an intonation point of view it
depends on context.
"OK, then I guess we need to..."
"Well I guess that's OK then"
"Very well, then I think we need to..."
"Well if that's all very well then we are agreed" (I'm not sure about this one
- I'm pretty sure the comma is better)
"OK! Men, we need to advance..." (The "OK" being the response to a previous
statement)
"OK men, are you on my side" (The OK being a call to arms - grouped with men as
the call)
On balance, I think comma would work more often than not - but you really do
need to read the line out loud in context of surrounding lines, and often there
won't be one right answer.

Aside from a few (ne) issues which I've fixed-in-xml already, here's
what I spotted in my run-through of The Omega Zone...
(er) 44, 93, 104, 294: OK then -> OK, then
(er) 100: Very well then -> Very well, then [so: maybe]
(er) 177: OK men -> OK, men
