Re: [SG, DS]Landings

"Best laid plans of mice and men..."

I figure, no matter how sophisticated the landing gear, the defensive/AA
gear
will be just as sophisticated.	So, net affect is cancellation, and thus
human
error equates spread.  Or, another way to look at it is, if you want as
many
forces as possible to make it to the ground, then you need to spread
them out,
and make things very truly random, in order to not be singled out...
Unfortunately that means a random landing.

On a side note, I really love the insertion from the Final Fantasy
movie...
