I am in two other games now, the best way to speed up the game is to have people do their turns in each phase within 12hrs...combats between players are not that frequent in comparison, the real time burner is waiting for people to do their phase.....combats between only computer and players are automated

also, if we can arrange a time or two during the week where we are all online, we can burn through some phases together pretty quickly...that will really speed it up

Agrees with me

I can agree to most of this, but I think 12 hours may be agressive during the week. For those that work a turn arriving late at night may be difficult to complete until after work the next day. What about 24 hrs during the week and 12 on the weekend?

Combat resolution: My vote would be to allow the players in a battle to make all the picks. Just make a rule that when the land phase is in lay all players should check their emails at a set time (say 7:00 pm CST). The phasing player could otherwise send out an email letting those who may be fighting battle know. The moves should go back and forth pretty quick once the battle starts if both sides are at the computer. I think you'll find the land phase only rolls around every 4-7 days by PBEM.
