GMS's
UnderWorld
has an Abstract Combat Mechanic that I think works well. Basically, it goes as follows:
* List the advantages one side has over the other. Do this for both sides.
* Each side flips three coins, one for Attack, Defense, and Goal. Heads is a win, Tails is a loss.
* Each side may use each advantage it has, ONCE, to flip a coin, either one of their own, or one of the opponents.
