(Alan B/Chris) occasionally you send these attached messages which are a
pain in Outlook 97
as the actual message can't be directly replied to. (Pasting original

We played with Brendans initial rules which were a hybrid MT vector
missile. The
playtest results were, its way too complicated and not much fun.

Agreed.

I'd abstract HH missiles either to a ER or greater (56MU) SLM with a 3MU
aquisition range 
or use MT missiles with cinematic.

If using ER+ SLM's you could do it that missiles greater than 36MU (ER
range) had to be 
launched two turns in advance. That would give the correct mechanic for
long range targetting
and minimal book keeping as the target markers would be on the table but
would require
a note of the turn on which they reached the target point, easy with a
marker pen and a 
plastic counter.
