That's why in my half-baked proposal, I suggested that you designate
all your orders for the turn first; only then do you get to see
whether your subordinates act or not.
I don't have any ideas yet on how to model "Your subordinate unit is
not where you think it is" or "moves in a direction you didn't
intend." Maybe if you blow your activate roll badly enough, your unit
moves in a random direction. "The most dangerous thing is a 2nd
lieutenant with a map..."
