Maybe just because I was hired originally as a cartographer by
DMAAC/DMA/NIMA I think there are some fun implications for scenarios
involving 'intentional errors' on the player's and figures maps.
Anybody
else seen some use for these in a scenario?

Great article on two points!
I can well imagine a riverine-transport force, on it's way to meet up
with
an 'overland' group, finding itself without the last leg of the journey
due
to the imaginary tributary. That's from a vac head who wasn't even
trying.
The other thing was that I found interesting: The Times uses the word
'wonky'. Obviously, colonial naivete on my part!
On the other hand, as I can see lots of 'life or death' situations
possible
with several of these changes, my naivete is shocked that cartographers
would do such things. It's one thing to alter a song recording...
