My advice: (Co)GM sets up general situation.  Player gives general
strategy, as below.  GM runs combat as narration until a breakpoint occurs
(i.e. something not covered by the player's strategy) and queries again.
If no breakpoint occurs, combat resolves.  :-p  It really doesn't have to
be complicated; the multiple-move response tends to be tedious and doesn't
IMHO add much unless some extremely complicated tactics are planned.
