"I was supposed to do my bit for the morning briefing, only to discover there was a totally new unit on the map. I sized things up and basically said what we would have done if there were a unit in that location. Afterward I asked one of the staff officers and he said "Oh, the controllers decided there needed to be a unit in that sector, so they put one in." Zap. Real war should work that smoothly."
