I had the same idea as Kloster (and am also a former Top Secret player). I plan on using a house rule where the 1s digit of the attack roll determines the hit location

1-2=head
3-6=body
7= l arm
8 = r arm
9= l leg
10= r leg

That seems to me to be the simplist method. You don't even have to roll a seperate die for hit location.

At the same time, I recognize that the purpose of the new BRP rulebook is not to change the system, but to compile all the rules from the different pre-existing BRP games into one consistent set of rules: "Chaosium's Greatest Hits" so to speak. Don't you hate it when a band records a new version of one of their songs for the greatest hits album? Same principle applies here.

That's why I am content to keep it as a house rule.
