Hello all, I just wanted to share a ruleset a friend of mine and myself came up with to play the game cooperatively, and ask for any input you might have. Apologies if the instructions are unclear, the process is a little confusing. I came up with two versions of the flow before this one, the first one was illogical and the second one wasted time. (The first one had players resolving turns on their own computers and opening up the possibility for mismatched turn results, the second one failed to realize each player can record their orders for two turns per round of emails)
We have been trying it with a game of SF2 and it's working so far, with RP'd radio communications between my mechanized infantry and his tanks/engineers going with the emails containing the game files. Sharing contacts and instructions will probably be a lot more interesting [read: pain in the ass] when dealing with WW2 where not every unit on the map has a radio.
Included is a working pdf of the rules as well as a little sample of what our emails look like back and forth.
