How did you like it, though? Did it seem to work well?

The reason that I came up with my idea was that it didn't actually
change the
rules. In fact, it doesn't change the probabilities, just the deviation.
The
Quick n' Dirty approach in the rules actually used a different variation
on
the rules. It made range less of an issue and seemed to flatten out the
effect
of different weapon systems. I wasn't sure I'd like that. My method has
the
advantage of keeping all those things in the rules.

Hmmm... good point. Didn't actually think about that...
