France '40 Gold Team Game

[Der Landser]

I participated in a couple of CS team games years ago and we used a system where the lead team member on our side would receive the next turn from the last player on the opposing side.  The lead team member would play his portion of the turn and then pass the turn on to the next player in the play sequence.  This would continue until the last player on our team completed his turn, after which he would end the turn and send it to the lead player on the opposing team.

One drawback to this system is that only the lead player on each team sees the full replay of the previous turn.  Subsequent players in the play sequence never see the entire replay.  I would prefer that once the turn is received from the opposing team, the player receiving the turn distributes the turn to all team members so that they can review the full replay.  Players will have to remember to delete the replay or over write it with the turn in progress to prevent processing the wrong turn.

The benefits of this are that it allows all team members to see the replay in its entirety and it aids in fine tuning strategies for the turn yet to be executed.  It provides team members with a higher degree of situational awareness and fosters collaboration for the turn to be executed.  With the possibility of a 2 week turn around period or more for each turn, it also serves as a refresher of the battle situation.
