maps

Seems copyright issues are now being taken as seriously as warfare ;-)

--> Not much difference anymore...

During the Cold War era, both sides regarded maps as classified 
information. Published maps were missing militarily relevant
information. 

The Soviets were especially paranoid about it. It was impossible to get 
a good street map of Moscow, and in larger scale maps, whole cities and 
roads might be off by several kilometers.

--> IIRC, the Soviets actually omitted ten or a dozen small-city sized
complexes they used for development of nuclear and biochemical weapons
and
other such black projects. They just didn't appear on ANY map. The
people
who lived there were in a kind of geographic limbo.

--> Apparently the same Soviets used bad maps to good effect vs.
invading
Germans in WW2. The Germans captured their maps, used them, and had some
nasty surprises. 

--> An interesting SG2 game would involve giving one side a map with
objectives that notably disagreed with the board setup, so the player in
charge had difficulty deciding where his mission objectives lay...
