Not at all, John. You find the best location in a Grid-4 and operate. When
you're done...you're done. Move on to the best location in the next Grid-4 and
operate there. (uh-oh...one more rule needed: 3. Once operation begins from a
given Grid-4, the station may not move to another location within a Grid-4 for
the duration of the operation).
Nobody said that you can't drive through a previously activated grid to get
somewhere. You simply can't reactivate while you do it.
Simple and elegant.
