One of the nice things about SW from the GM's perspective is the use of NPCs. the PCs can use allies (extras-not Wild Cards) and run them themselves-less work for the GM. Running combat is less time-consuming as there is less to keep track of for the NPCs as there are only two conditions to keep track of-Shaken or Incapacitated (and Incapacitated takes the NPC out the game). A combat that would probably take an hour or so in d20 will only take 10-20 minutes in SW. This allows more to get accomplished during a session...
