I agree with EatYerGreens. All of Al Kalifah's suggestions are sound in themselves, but would make the show boring: if one general had absolute command the show would be over in fifteen minutes and all you get to see is the battle. Part of the fun is trying to see the team cope. Problem is that coping often goes frustratingly bad: they don't know what they are doing at command level and have only a vague idea what's going on at the battlefield. Therefor I agree that they should get some preparation about warfare and about the command structure. Perhaps they should allow them to fight a training battle without the command structure to get the feel for the game (and gauge each others skills).
