[Diaspora] Social Combat Map for a Court Martial

[Jeffrey Hosmer]

This sounds good.  Keeps it nice and simple for the players, who are new to
this...

I want everyone to be involved, though, not just the player acting as a
lawyer... maybe I could let the non-lawyer characters come in as "witnesses"
to get one attempt to act on the judges or lawyers.  I could try following
the standard TV court procedure... opening statements from the lawyers,
calling on witnesses, closing statements from lawyers.  With four players,
that should make things interesting enough without getting too bogged down.
