On a miss, the grenade lands 2m beyond the target.
On a critical miss, roll 2d4. The first die represents the number of spaces away from the target in which the grenade lands. The second die represents the direction (1 = North, 2= East, 3 = South, 4 = West). E.g., 2 & 2, the grenade would land 2 spaces east of the target.
