Simply the game mechanics of using it are pretty easy.  The more complicated
part is the various combinations of warhead/range and the larger classes of SM.
 If you just take the first part of the post, up to where it says:

"7) For each missile that hits, roll and apply damage as per FB1."

and maybe take LaserLights's suggestion to drop the pre-movement target
tracking, it should be real easy.  If your nephew has been reading Weber's HH,
then the Stealth, ECM, FCS quality stuff should be easy to introduce.

The range/warhead stuff can be added a few games later, when you are
comfortable with the first part.  This is just a wider spectrum of the existing
ER-SM concept from FB1.

The different size classes definately needs playtesting to find the right
balance, but flows naturally out of the range/warhead concept.

Please do.  I am happy to answer any questions, and I'd like to get feedback
from outside my regular gaming group.
