This is the first league community shared hot-seat game, where anyone can pop in and play a turn after requesting a turn.
There will be no coordination of moves among allies.
There is a combination of added and subtracted pieces at game start totaling 95 IPC’s because no coordination is a big handicap for the allies. Also, it does not matter much whether the starting set up is perfectly fair.
The main point of this (very different) community game is fun. The main idea is to give players the fun of jumping into a game they have not been playing, and make a move with the scenario given.
Scramble, casualty choices can be made by the preceding player or the subsequent player, whichever.
Use the game notes feature (View -> Show Comment log) liberally. Things like Japan or Russia breaking the pact. I guess we can see who is at war with the politics panel, but making a game note could be good, too.
The premise (such as 1 player making one turn) could be changed by me, the moderator, whenever. It’s not about a fair game, it’s about fun. For example, if the Allies are really floundering because we have 1 player playing 1 power at a time, perhaps I’ll spontaneously have 1 player do US/China/UK to coordinate better.
You are not playing your power for the duration of the game, you are taking your turn and playing your power ONCE. Again, I will influence the action some, probably, like if a player really wants to play his power the next turn too - might be granted. Yes, I am interested in being “Penelope” (from Step Up Revolution), hoping most will enjoy that. We’ll see how it goes
