Simple- tell them to design a fleet but don't give anyone the senario
details until the fleet is fielded (or should that be vacuumed!!)
this will result in anoraks 1 for 9 ,and sensible dudes 5 for 10
(assuming
10 senarios in which the opposition is a sensible dude)
..Well blow me thats just what the military designers do!
