Sounds like most RPG combat systems out there: Roll to Hit, Roll to Damage. Some systems even have the "To Hit" roll modify the "Damage" roll.

Not to say that it isn't a useful model to use in play (which is why so many RPGs use it). You'd also have to decide how to split your Weapon Bonus/Edge - All on To Hit, All on to Damage or a split between the two.
