Yep, thats what I get for posting late at night. Brain fart.
It just didn't sink in, ZOC = snapfire range

For an Out Of Supply result, maybe reduce FP by some amount, instead of of
a mod to the to-hit roll. But what to do for AT shots?

Hmm.

or if you are out of supply, you get 2? BM's extra, at the beginning of
the next turn.

Yeah, I like that much better.

The nasty ZOC stuff I was thinking of was some of the old SPI methods
where all ZOCs were not equal--> some units had ZOCs, while others
didn't.
