Scouts..... plus Hammers Slammers news

Purnelle did that in "Go tell the Spartans". Drake makes a point of recon
satellites in several places in the Hammer's Slammers books. Usually the
opposing sides leave each others satellites mostly alone, but when an
important op comes up satellites get shot down (20cm powerguns on computer
control sweep the skies clear). This last of course lets the enemy know that
*something* is comign down.

There is, by the way, more Slammers material coming out.

I thought people might be interested that I am working with David Drake and
John Treadaway on an Official History and Times of The Slammers. Will not be
out anytime soon thoughas we are all doing it in our freetime.
