Try Wessex Games' rules, can't remember the name off the top of my
head .. Steve Blease (the author) is on this list, I'm sure he can
tell you more.
They have plenty of pre-defined designs for GZG models, are simpler
than DSII (but not to the point of being no-brainer rules) and are quite
quick to pick up and play.
I remember, Iron Cow, that's what they're called (it's been a long week
...)
