Thanks! One of the advantages of living in a flat sandy plain (Sam Kinison flashback) was that laying out ponds, buildings, walled compounds, etc can be done with impunity. It’s said that Rommel liked the terrain in N Africa because there was nothing much in the way for his tank formations. Probably should take that one with a grain of natron though. :’)
