Or just have eg 1 commander on each side, he gives orders and the ref
moves the units and reports back.  You wouldn't actually see
*anything* unless you personally went and looked, otherwise you're
staring at a map trying to figure out where everyone *really* is.  It
would be better to have subordinate commanders on each side (that
gives room for more chaos and confusion without needing the ref to add
extra malice) but they shouldn't necessarily see the terrain, again
just what they see with their own eyes plus what the reports they
receive from junior officers who are preoccupied with people shooting
at them.  I think that would be fascinating and no, I'm not
volunteering to run it (I'd be *too* malicious a ref).
