                                Command : SPY

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: spy <SECTS>

The spy command allows reconnaissance operations to enforce an oral treaty  or
as preparation for an attack (or even for a prayer to the Deity).

The spy report will reveal, (in round figures), the numbers of troops, civili-
ans,  guns, shells, iron, and planes and the sector designation and efficiency
in neighboring sectors.

The sectors denoted by <SECTS> are those from which you are spying, (see  info
syntax  for format). Note: you can only spy from sectors that have military in
them.

Note that the number of BTU's consumed is dependent upon the number of sectors
into which you spy, e.g., a 5x8 area costs one full BTU.

If you are spying on an unallied country  your  spy  could  be  apprehended...
his/her  chances  are  dependent upon the number of patrolling military in the
sector.

                                Command : SPY

If the other country has declared itself at war with you the spy will be  shot
and  the other country, (and the rest of the world, through the news), will be
warned that you tried to spy on him...

If the other country is neutral towards you the spy will be deported.
