KV Railguns vs Armour (NSS system) Pt1/2

Subject: KV Railguns vs Armour (NSS system) Pt1/2

Each railgun rolls 2 dice per class, hitting as per PT, but subtract 1
die for each full 6" of range.
All dice over 24" hit on a 6 only.
EG: a RG-1 rolls 2d at 6" & 1d at 12".	A RG-3 rolls 6d at 6" & 1d at
36".

For each die that hits, roll again; 1-3 = 1pt, 4-6 = 2pts.
(This would allow the addition of KV armour: same effect as old rules)
