Russkies in Oklahoma!

In fact future war may be a lot like SP with the general as the god like consciousness hovering over the battlefield directing the robots and drones in realtime or in some sort of slowed down time way.

I wouldn't argue* with anything that you had to say, but to me this was the nut graph. Some of the modern computerized battle maps already lean strongly in this direction. IIRC, Walrus dubbed this "eye of God" in the z-fire thread, which is a nice way of describing the pitch-perfect C3 enjoyed in this game.

Anything approaching the eye of God in real life would be a *ferocious* force multiplier. And it's coming ... for those entities that can afford the infrastructure and development costs.

*Well, OK, I'd argue. I *love* to argue. But not with my usual brio.
