Im looking at ways of making there 'less for the GM to know' or 'less for the GM to apply' or 'less to precalculate'.

We talk often about how GURPS can be as simple or granular as you like and Im looking at a way to scale the intricacy and difficulty of combat in a way similar to what Mook did so that when groups sit down, combat can move faste, easier and more intuitively with less understanding.
