RE: To Grav or not to Grav?

I had the same train of thought a while back as I took a good hard look
at the 
Traveller universe.  The largest constraint on operations is food
distribution 
and crew rest.	Dispersion during movement and concentration for action
are the 
rule of the day.  All operations take on the aspects of  Deep Battle,
and 
non-orbital fire support can become almost meaningless.  If I can move
100 kph 
in VTOL mode and have decent communications the operational envelope
becomes so 
huge that only key points (strategic objectives) are defended.	All
other 
points can and will be bypassed.  Take a good look at Attack helicopter 
operations and then give them the ability to hold ground.
