Speeding up combat resolution - tools?

[Silent Hunter UK]

Does anyone know of any tools out there to speed up the rather time-consuming combat system of T2K?

If you build tables for each players weapons and the most common mooks weapons with the s, m, l ranges with the players skills and modifiers factored in that helps.

Using the tabletop system of roll20.net I was able to make macros to speed up the firing of weapons and damage.

Maybe some kind of dm screen type thing?

I would suggest a table with player weapons and related skills, listing both aimed and snapshot values per range, listing the effective range bands for each weapon. Then add a smaller table with the modifiers for use with anything else than the usual gear.

I can try to craft an example at work tonight.

I can usually fit this kind of information on a 3x5" card, one per gun carried by the PC. I print it with the numbers off, then pencil in the calculated #'s, since they will change sooner or later.

As a GM, I find it helpful to write out before-game what the NPCs' tactics ought to be, as well as their to-hit numbers. It's one less thing to remember when the dice start rolling.

There's also this ad: http://fastercombat.com/enroll/ I've not read nor bought this product; it seems to focus on fantasy RPGs, but a reviewer for Traveller thought it worthwhile: http://freelancetraveller.com/featur...runcombat.html
