Terrain Information Known to the Alliance and to the Coalition
=======================
Asteroids are in 1A, 1F, 1K, 1P, and 1U, in every hex in the column
numbered 24XX and to the West of that column.
The nebula fills, in 4E, 4J, 4O, 4T, and 4Y, every hex in the column
numbered 24XX and to the East of that column.
No other terrain (including planets) is present.
Asteroids show interesting readings, concentrated in map 1K. The scientists are insisting on a close-up inspection.
Some debris is located in map 2L. Form/nature not detectable at long
ranges. There's no sign of activity (engines, shields, etc.).
Distress call coming from map 4N. Same standard SOS message repeats
over and over. No source detectable at long ranges. There's no
other sign of activity (engines, shields, etc.).

Simplified TacIntel reminder
=======================
-- (each group of ships near each other and at similar speeds &
headings is one force; by moderator's discretion with suggestions
from players)
-- (S levels are strategic levels)
-- ranges are given as (range for active scout/range for any ship
(even PF)/ range for any shuttle)
-- S1 (1500/1000/500): total movement cost, explosions/heavy weapons
fire, mean current speed of force rounded to nearest multiple of
32, per force
-- you will know this info, but not where the forces are at all
(you're detecting an energy resonance, which is unidirectional)
-- speed of force within a staging area is always reported as 64
-- S2 (300/200/100): number of ships, any shuttles as "some # of
shuttles", per force
-- cannot extend into enemy staging area without spy information
-- you will know this info, but not where within the range the
units are (you're detecting an energy resonance, which is
unidirectional)
-- S3 (225/150/75): S1 info, S2 info, and movement cost per ship all
reported at a location within 50 hexes of actual location of all
units of force, of detected units' players' choice, per force
-- declared location may be changed each impulse, but by default it
remains the same (though it may be required to be moved due to
movement of the units beyond a range)
-- if reported location is unspecified, moderator will go with most
recent, if possible, or select a new one by: range 0-max in a
random direction... note that it can be a tactical error to fall
back on that!
-- A (150/100/50): location, size class, speed, launching/firing of
weapon, active WW appears to be a ship, per ship or group of
shuttles
-- B (75/50/25): race, shield/PA status & level, fire control
detected, tractor, active WW, strength of web/plasma/ESG/
explosion/discharge of weapon, number of shuttles (on map,
not in/on ship), per unit
