What roleplaying game would you say has fairly difficult combat?
I mean, legitimately difficult combat; not just unfavorable dice probabilities.
I'm also not looking for needlessly complicated or obfuscatory rules, especially not ones that use complexity to mask a lack of actual decision-making; I'm not looking for a poorly edited series of random tables.
I mean, what roleplaying game features deep combat with broad decision branching and meaningful consequences?

GURPS

So the fundamental challenge of GURPS combat is risk vs. reward.
You take penalties to attacks (increasing your risk of missing) in order to deal more damage or disable your target.
And you have to risk turning your back on enemies in order to go after more desirable targets.

for a promising young race they are very unpromising and daft
Every picture of a Tau defeat warms my heart.

More like inexperienced.
You don't know that the Dark Eldar are relentless assholes the very first time you meet them. They don't often get a chance to prank the shit out of someone who hasn't heard of them before, so they tend to be on their best behavior at first just so they can twist the knife. Thats when you learn they can't be trusted and are rape-o-holics.
As for the Ork thing, ironically that happened because they had gotten so used to fighting orks that they took for...

If Tau were too dumb to realise guys who look like THIS might not be trustworthy then there truly is no hope for them.
So tomorrow I'm running a game of Everyone is John for some friends (or multiple games, I don't know how long they last). We're fairly experienced with tabletop and I've GM'd before, but none of us have played this game yet. Does anyone have tips for GMing?
Also general Everyone is John thread or something I guess.
Prepare for multiple ones, a game is very quick.
I don't have much to say along the lines of GM tips, it's a simple game and not very serious so it's pretty easy to just improvise yourself through.
General fun stuff, good improv on your part is a must.
Last session I did lasted 2-ish hours with 2 players with relatively simple obsessions. They won by completing all goals without me killing them, even after a very blatant nuke attempt.
You may or may not have a player that ONLY 6s the entire game.

It is a competitive game. Make sure the players understand that from the beginning.
Anything that is further than 10 minutes away will never be visited. Plan your locations accordingly.
Don't take your end to be the end. If you have nothing prepared, improvise. John fell off a building? What happens on the way down? John drowned? Maybe he's saved by mermaids. Shift genres as you wish if the players make you. Play the afterlife and try to fight John's way out of Hades. Only end the game...

Manticores should be fired off asap.
Consider them one shot weapons since your opponent rarely will let you fire a second salvo.
