Hi Phil, Now, that is a slick idea. So esentually each race gets a number 1 through 4. A random generator can pick if Cardassians, Federation, Romulans, Klingons, can move first, second, third, etc.. If the Cardassians get to go first and you happen to be fighting them you might get attacked first throwing your battle plan out the window. However if you are also attacking the Klingons and you come up before them you get the edge on them while losing the Cardassian front. That is pretty cool. That would certainly mix things up a bit.
