Thus the timed turns. Don't need a half hour for a turn on a 2500/5000 pt game. I'd say 10 minutes/turn would be too long. I'd go along with only being allowed to specify preferences, mission, nationalities and time period. Computer to buy and deploy at which point you, the new guy just bussed in to replace the guy that got sacked at tea time get to hit the ground running. Can you do anything with the @$#% sandwich the computer hands you?
