Re: Scouts..... plus Hammers Slammers news

Purnelle did that in "Go tell the Spartans". Drake makes a point of 
recon satellites in several places in the Hammer's Slammers books. 
Usually the opposing sides leave each others satellites mostly alone, 
but when an important op comes up satellites get shot down (20cm 
powerguns on computer control sweep the skies clear). This last of 
course lets the enemy know that *something* is comign down.

There is, by the way, more Slammers material coming out.
