Good report.

I see with two a side, you assign different commands. Are the two players on a side allowed to communicate? Is it actually a team effort, with joint decisions or genuine independent commanders?

I often have a number of my pals over & this is a crucial, organisational decision. I'm keen to hear your views.

Are the two players on a side allowed to communicate?

Yes, but we don't try to run the other player's forces unless they are doing something truly badly. We play in a friendly way with even opposing commanders offering advice where needed. Basically, we do deploy and play our own forces.
The mat is a neoprene one I got from an add on Facebook!
