Now that I think about it, I did reread a bunch of Berserker stories not
too 
long ago, Maybe that is where I remember it from. Still, I think it has 
possibilities for the setup to a decent scenario, with one side
expecting one 
battlefield and finding something very, or even only slightly different.
All 
it takes is a suitably evil umpire to set it up.
