    "The Circle of Uncertainty is an imaginary line drawn around an Aircrewman and his nav-bag."

    Alternatively, look out of the window and make the map fit the ground. Then call in a fire-mission; the bigger the better. Where the rounds come in will be (roughly) the grid you gave them.

    There is no question so obviously stupid that it prevents one supposedly intelligent human from asking it of another.

    Likewise, there is no human problem that cannot be solved by the correct application of the appropriate quantity of high explosive, the suitable quantity being derived by the Formula P, where P = "plenty"

    Nobody ever imagined a bunch of Orcs would steal a database table...
