Snake,
Hear hear! Well said!
Much like one shouldn't post to a board like this unless you personally programmed the code and then created the English language.
No wait, too silly!
Speaking personally, when I've played OC types, I generally let the NCOs do all the planning and run the show. I just provided a kind of strategic direction and let them go at it. It kept the other players quite involved and personally invested, too. In the end, it was up to the NCOs to run the unit without any micro-managing needed by me.
While this anecdote about Master Corporal Doyle was an interesting real-life example, I learned the ropes from a couple US Marines when I first started playing The Morrow Project. It's a lesson I truly took to heart.
