Whilst an interesting angle in the story and while Defence is little 
different to any other large organisation in peace time wanting all the 
latest technologies, when it comes to War/Defence, the premise of 'Seize 
and Hold Ground' has them more concerned about who can supply and 
maintain good old fashioned typewriters and ribbons!
