What if the Superior force is attacking an inferior force that must 
defend. The inferior force is going to want to do as much as they can 
do deny the superior force information.

I'm concerned with sensors more due to much reading of the Honor 
Harrington books plus accounts of naval battles where you don't know 
all of what is there. Greater than 36" sensor range lets you know 
something is there, but what?
