Subject: [FT] PBEM Firing Orders
Seeing how much fun the four Showdown participants are having, I have a
question regarding the firing order game mechanics in PBEM games - after
movement do you try and simulate the normal initiative/fire-by-ship
sequencing
in the regular rules, or do you have all of the players write all of
their
firing orders and then apply the results simultaneously? The former
mimics a
"live" game at the expense of real-life timer-per-turn, while the latter
speeds up game play at the expense of the original game mechanics. I
can see
both styles as being valid.
