Coming from D&D one of the weirdest things about it is that it it doesn't have a separate combat structure. (I believe this is true of lots of games that are based on Apocalypse World, but I don't actually know.)
Anyway I'm really excited about it now, because one of the most artificial things about any form of simulationist game like D&D or Call of Cthulhu, is that you need to basically enter a combat mode.
Yeah, all the PBTA games (that I know of anyway) don't do anything special for combat. It's just another part of saying what you do, rolling dice if necessary, GM adjudicates. I also like how it doesn't have initiative; the GM tells you to go whenever it makes sense in the fiction for your character to do something.
PBTA kind of feels like an alternate reality to me, one where RPGs evolved from something besides wargames.
