 I just thought that I would add an across the board 1 chit extra draw
for all attacks that hit due to the hostile environment.

I didn't think of HKPs as using fin stabilizationl. But may be worth
looking at.

Good Idea. I also thought that HEL's should be more powerful for the
same reason.

 I had not thought of that. I will add this to the scenario. I will also
ask if anyone knows the distance to the horizon on the moon.

For the defenders I would say yes (they know how to move fast along the
surface). But for the attackers, I would say that if they try to take
advantage of this "fast movement", they would be more vulnerable to
being hit (die shift?) due to bouncing off the surface.
More comments welcome.
