Took some screen prints of the Visio files so you can look, but not have to
deal with these BIG files. I made 'em huge to run on a plotter, so the
planetary hexes would be big enough for the Fortress America figs I was
thinking of using in for gropos action

Part One represents two outer orbits, and Part Deux was to be the planet
and a 'geo'-syncronous orbit, 'geo' as this wasn't to be earth, but a near
colony where rules of engagement required limited ortillery, and atmosphere
insertion with limited collateral damage as the equator would have been
kept as unsettled for just this reason.
***

Just remembered that the Part Deux planetary map is supposed to be also to
limit the ortillery and insertion to just a couple of sections of the
planet. It helps if you think of the geosync orbit as being around the
equator (duh) and the planet 'slices rotated perpendicular to the sheet,
and the ends bent inward to make a psuedo-globe.

Then, the quarter, or half (never decided on that either) of the globed
defined by the lines directly under each geosync octagon were 'fair
targets'.

The more I look the piccies, the more I remembered bits I'd worked out, but
never written down. For instance, I would the leading sections, not equally
fore and aft, for the insertion, assuming drop pods and landing shuttles
would be in faster orbits just before hitting real atmosphere.

Sorry for any parts you already figured out. ;->=
