In order to understand how each turn is played, it will help to understand how time works in this game.

Most important, time is very abstract.  Events happen in a certain order because it is mechanically sound (and keeps the game flowing), not because it is logical in a real world setting.

Time: There are 4 Weeks in a Months, there are 10 MONTH in a Year.
Each turn represents 1 Week of Game Time.

Each game week is presented to the player as an indicator that a new turn has begun.

Each turn, within your In-Game Thread, you will see a tag that looks something like this:

[ Week 1, Month 1, Year 1 ]

This is how you will know it is your turn to post your Actions and order your Units-about.

Step 1) Narrator posts current Turn #.
Step 2) Player selects their actions, writes a narrative, and posts their Orders.
Step 3) Narrator gives a narrative response, posts the results, and enters any questions that require follow-up. Narrator Response
Step 4) Player makes decisions based-upon follow-up (such as Buying/Selling, recruiting, etc.)
Step 5) Week 4 only: you Pay Upkeep.
