Mercedes Lackey actually in one of her books had one character explain to another just what a real battle is like. Pretty damn good explaination of the mess, confusion, and what the other side is truly trying to do to you.

War and Peace by Tolstoy has a similar scene. A character is at the headquarters unit, watching couriers come and tell the general what's going on and then departing with new orders. He realizes by the time the courier gets back to that part of the battle, the situation would probably have changed and the orders would be useless. Its an excellent scene well worth reading.

Walky talkies changed warfare forever. Don't forget it.(Seriously think about it... The changes are nuts.)
