Capital Missles can miss or be shot down, SMLs can miss, fail to lock
on, or be shot down, and pulse torps can be miss.  SGs are garunteed d6
damage points--salvoing 4-6 of them can ruin someone's day.  There are
no other 100% garunteed sure things as far as causing damage is
concerned, where neither luck nor skill can save you.  We felt that it
is nearly impossible to stay out of 12", but six inches is somewhat
easier to manage.
