I recently played a free style game. Other players were able to take a turn before I had completed my turn, I thought I understood the concept of freestyle, that there is no set order. I did not realize that some flaw or bug can be exploited. How is a player to execute a strategy if suddenly another player can add armies mid attack and actually attack you?
Any thoughts?

that is strategy. To interrupt people mid-turn and foil their strategy. I would have never won a few of my early games if not for this strategy.
What a bunch of smart asses.
"In a freestyle game it doesn't matter in which order players take their turns. After the last player takes his turn, a new round begins immediately. The player who triggers a new round is not allowed to take a second back-to-back turn and must wait for someone else to play.
Note the line wait for someone else to play."
I was unaware that it didn't require that person to actually finish.
Note the use of the "order of players take their turns"
I'll say it again.
What a bunch of smart asses.
Bring on the wise ass comments.
It's simple to see why this topic get brought up so much- The instructions are not very clear. As a temporary fix until lack implements the "no simultaneous turns" feature, I think the instructions should be changed to include a statement such as "Your turn can be taken at any time during each 24 hour round, even concurrently with another player's turn."
Sully, to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of your suggestion, it is done!
