Infantry Shooting

My set of wargame rules, Combat! is designed to allow single soldier firing on individuals or groups of soldiers. The different types of weapons have declining chances to hit a man sized target as the range increases. Ranges are 50 yards, 100 yards, 250 yards, 500 yards, 750 yards, 1000 yards, 1250 yards, 1500 yards, 1750 yards and continues on indefinitely at 250 yard intervals. Each distance is equal to five inches, so 50 yards measures out on the table as five inches. 100 yards is measured out at ten inches, and 250 yards measures out as fifteen inches and so on.

A hit is achieved on the target if the shooter rolls a number less than or equal to the number on the chart at the specified range. Example, a double action revolver has a 60% chance to hit a man at fifty yards distance. This assumes both the target and shooter are stationary and in the open. If the shooter rolls the dice and the result is a 60% or less then the target is hit. In the simple version, if the target is hit, then the target is removed.
