GURPS - Almost-Mass Tactical Combat

Alright,

Thanks to a bunch of my Table-Top crew being X-COM, Mordheim, Valkyria Chronicles (and more) players, we thought it'd be cool to have a campaign where everyone commands a squad as players and has to do tactics that way.

Note, this is NOT Mass Combat. Each player would probably have between 5 to 12 characters.

I'm looking for any information on streamlining things a bit for such a play style. I could just use normal rules, but to make turns a bit faster, thinking of doing some rewrite of a few rules that'll help speed it along.

Maybe use Phases and sequences. Get certain leader skills worked in that normally aren't used too often...

Stuff like that.

So really wondering if anyone has done anything like this or has some cool ideas to add to the play style.
