My thoughts exactly. Me too when I started playing GURPS I was trying too hard to evaluate NPC combat power with CPs. It simply doesn't work. Best approach I think is to balance out their combat abilities (melee skills, ranged skills, block, dodge and parry, HP, damage, DR, etc.) compared to your players abilities.
