99% sure open communication is allowed. The extent to which it’s allowed is up to you, though. With my play-group we cut it off at “talk of general strategy is allowed, anything more specific is not.” We do it this way because of bad experiences where multi-player games would devolve into the “good” Axis Player and the “good” Allies Player forcing their teammates to obey their orders on what to do each turn, effectively turning the game into a 1v1 with a peanut gallery. That’s not much fun for anyone.
Do you continue tabletop games over multiple days?

Just out of curiosity for everyone, do any of your groups start tabletop games and then complete them at a subsequent session? We have tried this a few times, but it always seems like one side or the other has an apparently insurmountable advantage and one side usually concedes. The few times we have tried to schedule a multi-day game the second day has never happened.
We do have some games start in person and continue online, but that is a different beast of course.

@marshmallow-of-war I used to play every saturday, did so for 4 years, 2-4 hours at a time. Games lasted 2-6 months. It worked out well, and had a good time!

Yes we do now. Mostly one on one for 2 turns a week.
As far as 2 days in a row that is mostly based on our group playing 2 games instead of one based on if there’s a few guys coming from a distance. Makes it worth it for them to get in 2 games based on traveling distances. -
Absolutely. I’ve been able to play twice a week for 3 hours each time doing this. One of our weekly players had a shift change and couldn’t make the weekend game. Setup is quick too, not as many units
