Orbital Maneuvers

I just had a thought about combat over contested planets. Suppose, as
suggested before, you nominate one table edge as the upper atmosphere.
OK, now then, on a piece of paper you draw the following diagram.

	      _____
	     /	       \
	    /		\
	   |		 |
	   |		 |
	    \		/
	     \_____/

Now, you have eight "tables" worth of orbit. On your diagram the owner
of the planet can position defensive batteries, satellites in
geosynchronous orbit, whatever. Assume that the table "switches" every
three-four rounds. Comments? (Now remember, I've been coding HTML all
day so my wits may not be with me)
