When he recruits a leader that belongs to the General (i.e., an orange leader), he gives that player the card and leader to place in his leader pool. Recruiting: When recruiting new leaders during the Refresh Phase, the Admiral draws two action cards and decides which leader to recruit. They can talk in code or whisper, but they cannot leave the room to have private discussions. They can show each other cards without showing the other team, but all discussion must take place openly in front of their opponents. Players on the same team can share as much information as they like. During a player's turn, he can activate a system using one of his leaders, reveal a mission that one of his leaders is assigned to, or pass. Each team has two leader pools, and all leaders are placed in the leader pool that matches their leader color (Admiral=blue General=orange).ĭuring the Command Phase, players take turns following the initiative number shown next to their role's name on their faction sheet (starting with #1, then #2, etc). When playing with more than two players, use the 'Team Game' side of each faction sheet. A player makes all decisions for his leaders and rolls dice for them when resolving a mission.īoth players can activate systems and move his team's ships and/or ground units.
