Any chance of an after action report?

When I was playing v1, I used a tip from an issue of Challenge magazine and came up with a Sniping skill. Basically, a player who makes a successful Sniping roll has the subsequent shot has the range band for his shot "moved" one band closer, and 1D6 added to his damage roll. He can also make a Sniping roll and make a called shot with normal chances to hit. (He can't do both in the same round.)
