John,
  I beleive it was MAR Barker that introduced the most TFT-like military 
rules I can think of.  Being that they were simple yet playable.  In the 
wargame system he used 1D6 was rolled per unit strength.  This is standard 
to most mass miniatures wargames systems.  What he did that was new, was to 
introduce a rounding effect for millitary units.

Normal attack roll

 1 really bad result
 2 normal failure
 3-4 varied on units abilities
 5 normal success
 6 spectacular success.

MAR Barker's military units

 1 counts as a 2
 6 counts as a 5

  His military units were considered more reliable in that they wouldn't go 
far wrong, but something was lost in that they never had heroic victories 
either.  A similar approach in TFT would be to simply do away with critical 
hits and misses.  Anything above a 16 is considered a 16, and anything below 
a 5 is considered a 5.
