If you have a better suggestion, shoot.
I believe "Phase" is a bad choice to replace "Phrase".myanbar wrote:As I've said many times now, Phase.higgins wrote:Truth is, we used to have rounds and turns.

A phase denotes a part of a whole. A cycle can be broken down to phases. It could be used to replace "Sequence" or "Tempo" for example. Not "Phrase". It feels extremely out of context to me. Not only that, Phase seems more appropriate for more modern-esque and sci-fi games.pg 102 wrote: In fencing circles, melee combat has been referred to as a “conversation in steel,” composed of phrases of blade-play and punctuated by gaps without action. In ‘Bastards, we use the word phrase to refer to an individual cycle of melee combat
What would you call the Skirmish level time units? Don't say Turn, as that's basically a synonym for Round.taelor wrote:My preference would be for a round made of two tempos.
