...Well since most of my SGII forces are TTG 15mm ones I use a version
of
'Imperial Commander' rules (don't have them with me at the moment but
IIRC)

1)Jump distance for normal troops 24" (enough fuel for 2 jumps)
2)Jump distance for power troops 36" (enough fuel for 1 jump)
3)Jumping is a squad action that requires a confidence check
4)There is a risk of wounding etc for jumping into various type of
terrain
5)Individual figures Roll against Terrain cover dice with their quality
dice
to determine a) injury and b) deviation from landing point
6)If squad looses integrety then it must reorganise
7) 5&6 above can be altered to just rolling agains injury and squad
_must_
reorganise after a jump.
8)you can use an opposed roll of armour against terrain as the injury
roll
rather than quality but if you do you ignore 7 above.

I will check these when I get home but the concept behind them was 
1) I dissliked hopping mad men (therefor reduced fuel caps)
2)Jumping should be used as an assault skill just as close assault
(player
skill as to when troops use it) Not as a "Oh **it I'm in a bad position
,
never mind I can always jump again! (aka Pygwshfib -Preserving your
gam**s
wor***op super hero figure in battle!)
