The way Noam envisioned it was not as cloaking, but as effectively
reducing the firer's range bands. For instance, if you're firing at a
target 21mu away and he has no stealth, you can hit him with a Beam 2;
but if he has stealth 1, you have count five inches as if it were six
inches, so you can't him him. If he has stealth-2, you count 4 inches
as if it were 6, so that target which is 21 inches away on the table
is outside PTorp range but just inside B3 range.
