Use the "array processing" inherent in functions such as Plus and Times 
that have the attribute of being Listable , namely:

   C = A - (1/2)B

That's it!  (You can do Simplify later. And even there, you don't need 
to do any explicit indexing, but -- at least for a one-dimensional list 
-- just use Map:  Simplify/@C
