If you want to get a better "game feel" for that assumption without
changing
the mechanics at all, have the defending player roll the SLM die and
subtract that number from the base 6 that would hit without
countermeasures.
Its exactly the same thing as the atttacking player determining how many
SLM's hit, but now the defending player can feel like he's actually
defending.
