Have you played Savage Worlds at all?

It does a very good job with making ranged attacks work differently in the ways you seem to be seeking (with characters able to dodge/parry in melee but not at range).

If you want to see a wargame system translated brilliantly into an RPG system, check out the last edition of the Iron Kingdoms RPG stuff (either Full Metal Fantasy or Unleashed- they’re the same system). The combat is based on Warmachine rules, but modified to work as an RPG really well.
