You raise a good point here. As an 'old timer' and a
'team player' myself, I prefer getting BOTH a pdf and
a report from everyone on my team. I usually send out
both every turn. I sometimes even miss things on my
pdf (sometimes, but not often) When dealling with new
guy, I ask what he wants to do and then try to tell
him the best way to go about doing it. I don't tell
him what he has to do, just the best way to maximize
his orders. Hell, I know I am not perfect and I
accept suggestions from my allies all the time. I may
not do exactly what they say but I normally
incorporate their ideas into my turn.
I don't expect a new guy to do exaclty what we
(the old timers) tell him.
