[FT] KV 'house' rules for FB (Was "Fuzzy Wuzzy")

Another KV house rule I thought up was Raking. This came up
from playing Age Of Sail recently where you get a big attack bonus if
you Rake the opponent. A Rake is firing so the projectile enters the
target along its long axis. A cannon ball (or hyper velocity penetrator)
does a lot more damage as it travels the length of the ship, than
it would do passing through one side to the other side.

	      ________
  Rake --->  <________D

A Rake would be determined if the incoming shot came through the
fore or aft arcs of the target or you could base it on the miniature.

But then again the KV are already too powerful and maybe this
feature has been abstracted in the way RG's give damage anyway.

Another point to ponder is that are they really using Rail Guns
which are very inefficient and have fundamental design flaws
(pathological rail erosion) compared to a Coil Gun.
