What is an SCM? Do you mean "Special Combat Maneuver"? If so, please
note that special combat maneuvers are *optional rules* and if you don't
like them, don't use them. Certainly they wouldn't be in any RQ Lite.
They're meant for experienced players who want to simulate differences
in combat styles among people who use the same weapon.
