For the record, I play for fun, and my games are always friendly. It is a GAME after all.
That said, if my opponents decide they want to hold me to a stringent and stiff high standard, that’s fine. They can expect to be treated equally!
In short, it sounds like a “Don’t touch your pieces”
Of note however… some of the earlier turns of the game, can move much more quickly if you play some turns at the same time, (IE Russia moves her eastern forces first so Ithat Japan and Germany get to play their first, and usually longest turns, at the same time.)
But in agreement with YG we can postpone the thought of those kinds of privledges.
Also, are we to officially declare phase changes outloud? In 1000 games I’ve never had to do that, but sounds like we might have to? :P
