Re: [GZG] Artillery considerations (was: Re: Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi!)

I was wondering if anybody was thinking in 3 dimensions.  If your the 
invader, you will have spaceships in orbit.  The rules clearly state 
that ORTILLERY exists.	If an army is tasked with orbital assault, it is

more than likely that it will have ortillery - as in spaceraft with 
ground bombardment capability.	All a unit on the ground would need to 
use this is a IFF device, a com unit and a compass.  Wouldn't suprise me

if the typical message was "enemy target 300 yards north on my signal - 
confirm and destroy".

Anybody seen Google Earth - thats non-military technology available 
today.	In 200 years I reckon that anybody in orbit will be able to SEE 
their targets directly from orbit in real-time and be able to follow 
battles from there.  When a unit reports that is in trouble and needs 
artillery, the ortillery unit would look down at the calling unit and 
the surrounding area and think "theres the enemy, heres a bomb, boom.

The tech gap isn't going to get any narrower for the third world 
countries - they'll have to rely on NOT been seen and NOT losing control

of orbital space.
