Galen,
     A good comment, and the only problem with
the concept is the question: Can you really 
expect to maneuver within 12 MU (inches) for
a a period of time necessary to disable your
enemy?
     Most games are a series of passes and 
the majority of the time ships are outside
12 MU.

Bye fro now,
