Relatively new to Warlight, and ran into this issue with cards while playing with a teammate in a real-time game. When it was my time to deploy, game indicated I had a Reinforcement card to play. Problem is both myself and my teammate tried to play the same card. I was second to use, so after deploying and issuing orders, only then was I informed I'd have to delete the card somehow and start over. I timed out and got booted before me and my teammate could figure out who should use the card. So the question is, what is the best strategy for teammates when one card is available?

Generally I take a look at the board and determine who needs it more. I then tell my partner to take it, or I use it and tell him I am going to be using it. Rarely does it need to be discussed very long, if at all. Once you get used to the game, it becomes fairly obvious who needs to use it more. Non-reinforcement cards rarely hit this problem, and can be handled the same way.

A better solution is to not play team games that require talking about strategy in real time. Even without cards, if you need to talk a move through, you're going to get booted.

If in doubt, just tell your partner to use the card. That way you are sure that it won't mess with your game.

its normally the responsibility of the person taking it to say. by the way, you dont need to start the turn over again, you can use the top right panel to delete the order to play the card and then adjust reinforcement/attack numbers.

"its normally the responsibility of the person taking it to say. by the way, you dont need to start the turn over again, you can use the top right panel to delete the order to play the card and then adjust reinforcement/attack numbers."

But what can i do when there is no panel? Some things dont work at my computer. Like the blacklist or the remove player option in the Lobby. At the computer of my brother works it and there are this buttons.

Can someone explain me that? By the way usually noone say that he will use a card.

sry i dont want to post a reply i cant delete it. I wanted create a new thread.

that panel can be very useful in understanding how turns process, as well as modifying orders mid-way through the turn..
if you can't access that panel, I highly suggest avoiding 2 minute games, and still suggest avoiding 5 minute team games, unless you can re-take your turn rather quickly
