For single-player or solo play - there are three things to consider trying with the combats: Option 1 - "Don't have one" - Zozer Games' "Solo" has an interesting system where you get into a situation where combat would decide the outcome - then you decide the "risk level" of the plan and the...

Welcome to the fray, DoomSparrow! GURPS is an amazing toolkit and it is *very* easy to hurt yourself trying to use every tool in the box too quickly. There is a fantastic GURPS "lite" 32 page PDF available on the SJ site - master that and you should be more than good to go adding in as much as...
