I *strongly* advise against using Newtonian movement for large scale
maneuvers. I had to make a special program for the players to get them
to use it and even then only half of them did, this being in a player 
base of engineering and math students.

A player wants to move his forces from point A to point B without making

*any* calculations. Even worse, they often want to "pursue etc." without
bothering to make plans for such action.
