I see that and IMO makes GURPS quicker.

Almost, whack, argh, fight over.

Not: whack, argh, whack, argh, whack, argh, whack, argh, fight almost over, followed by whack, argh, whack, argh, whack, argh, fight over.

Also once hit a lot of fighters get minuses to their skills next round thus making the demise of the fighter much more easier than the 'whack a mole' combat of DnD.
