 +===== Planning phase =====
 +After the plenary briefing that starts the game, both sides will spend considerable time in planning the initial deployment of their forces (and in the case of the Allied forces liaising with Allied Air HQ). All teams will participate in this planning phase. The initial briefing for this part of the game will only be disclosed on the morning of the game, so everybody has a chance to influence the planning for the game. Operations will start immediately after the planning phase and first turn orders must be ready at the end of the planning phase.
