Return to Magna Graecia - Turn 3

[kronenblatt]

Now, if another consul could step forward, maybe a solution could be found in the form of a shared 'burden' or command? E.g., one consul player runs the strategic part and all those considerations; the operations, retreats, etc. And then another consul (@Josey Wales ?) steps in when it's time for FoG battle, for all or (if that feels better) just one pre-specified army? Some team work, so to speak? And in line with history and Rome's two consuls...

What do you guys say about that?

 

[Josey Wales]

For me, if I’m bowing out I think it only fair to bow out 100%. I don’t think any of us would be happy with a scenario where I agree now to play a battle only to back out at crunch time again.

And there's always next time...

Ok, I guess this means voting Consul @Nathangun back in for a 2nd term.
