On Target

Long ago, when what is now known as Clasic Traveller was just Traveller (before MT apeared), I remember on a Traveller magazine (I'm not sure what it was) there was a 'critical hit' table for personal combat called 'On Target'.

I liked it (and played with it when I could) because it could incapacitae a character for some time, and gave the players a good reason to see violence as last option, as it was too dangerous.

Now I'm affraid I cannot find it.

Does anyeone of you know if it can be found anywhere?

I've been helping build the database over at rpggeek, and they are up to 30,000 magazine articles now. A quick search found it in White Dwarf 28.

It's in White Dwarf. Issue is 90 or earlier, but I don't recall which one.

There's a simpler, and more useful table in one of the later Traveller Digests, as well.
