Actually, I was assuming the cloak practically removes the
ship from the universe.  It gets to the planet by dead
reckoning. Having written orders for turns 1-10 when it
cloaked for ten turns.	During those ten turns the marines
prepare for ground assault, inspect equipment, eat a hot
meal, that sort of thing.

On turn 11 I write the movement orders as if it can see
the moment it decloaks.  So, the order: "Land on target
planet" has validity.
