This is an old chestnut, missle combat isn't entirely obvious. Certainly, you can do missile combat as a single contest, for example marginal victory = 1 wound, major victory = brought down, complete victory = dead. But remember, if you're doing it that way, and the target gets a complete victory, then he has gotten away completely, if that's his intent.
