Glenn made some interesting points. One was:
And as for Op Sec (operational security -
the thing kept the
military to tell Defense Mapping about
Grenada until 24-72
hours before hand - "You don't have maps
of Grenada!?!?!")
it can turn the mundane in to chaos if for
SBU facts like
stock levels or existence of maps. Ever
seen a grid on a
tourist map? Sad, almost pathetic.
[Tomb] And another thing - Our military
orienteering gear is marked in mils. Most of
the civ maps are not. Try mixing civilian
maps and military compasses or vice versa.
Not impossible, by any means, just
annoying. And of course, fire support isn't
too easy to call on the grid-less maps too.
