Some thoughts that you can say are bad ideas!

[Volcano Man]

I agree about the briefings. Also, certain people expect certain things from briefings. Some want a description of the situation, others want a description of what is supposed to happen or what happened in the battle. Others want a description that leads up to the event of the battle itself. I fall into the latter catigory, I tend to explain the situation which led to the scenario and then leave it open to play out. I guess someone could type up a five paragraph OPORD that explains everything, but who wants to do that? Either way, not everyone is happy.
