Team game - how to play one?

[Roger Neilson]

Looks like we may be about able to start a team game up. What I'd like is someone who has already done a team game, or currrently is in one to give me some ideas about the mechanics of this method of play. I have some ideas, but it would make sense if someone had already foiund the best way of doing it.

Divide up your teams and who commands what. Let's say you have 4 players, 2 to side.
Japan-1
Japan-2
Allied-1
Allied-2

Japan-1 makes his moves, save the game, does not end. Sends saved game to Japan-2.

Japan-2 makes his moves, ends the turn. Sends the completed turn to both Allied-1 and Allied-2.

Whichever Allied player works on the turn first, sends an email to the other Allied player, that he is currently working on it). Let's say it's Allied-1.

Allied-1 makes his moves, saves the game (no end), sends to Allied-2.

Allied-2 makes his moves, ends the turn, sends the completed turn to both Japanese players.

Again, whichever Japanese player gets the turn first, should send an email to his teammate, that he is currently working on the turn. Either Japanese player can execute the turn (to create the 001 file), but only one should begin working on the turn. Let's say it's Japan-1.

Japan-1 executes the turn, makes his moves and saves. He sends the the saved (not ended) turn to his team-mate.

Japan-2 makes his moves, and ends the turn, and sends the completed turn and the 001 file to both Allied players.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
