Laurence Tilley and Michael Kamine made some very good suggestions...
(unlike Mike Elliott)
Why not just take 2 or 3 1650 game turn 1s from recent (non team)
games and hold them on file, ready for use.
You could even send out the choices for each nation to the onelist and
ask for votes on which to use.
You could do the same for 2950.
This makes a lot more sense than anything else so far. It's not ideal,
but it's better than missing a turn.
Don't pick starting turns from team games, as these will probably be more
focused on certain actions - swapping/tracking/locating artifacts,
retiring characters etc.
I agree.
Clint, is this possible? Does this present a solution? Alternatives
would be to appoint a panel of players to come up with some basic set
moves to be stored on file.
