Maybe not everyone agrees. (That's why I suggested it as an *option*.)
One of the most fun games I ever played was when I sat down with a couple of
guys and
two boxes of Panzer Leader components, laid out a double-sized map of a
beachhead, and
each turn we rolled a die and drew that many random units ot of the box and
brought
them on the edge in a meeting engagement. The uncertainty was almost total,
and it
was terrifying, but it made a great gaming experience.

Yah, it would be nice if the server told the client what tiles to use, and the
client
either found them, or gave an error message to the player if it could not.
