1.6  TURNSHEETS   The turnsheets in Star Chase (attached to the back of your game report) are used for submitting your orders. Your orders for each turn are submitted in the form of actions, one action per line on your turnsheet.
The actions available are listed in sections five to nine of this rulebook. You have sixteen actions per turn. If you do not use all sixteen action you may leave gaps (although it would probably be more sensible to use the extra actions for scouting). There are also two lines available for giving names to the systems owned by your empire.
Think BEFORE you fill in the turnsheet. The recommended method is to write out your plans on another sheet of paper and transfer the final version to your turnsheet only when you're finished (or use a soft pencil that you can erase without making a mess).
Please try to write your orders as neatly as possible, as we cannot correct errors that result from poorly written turns.

1.7  MESSAGES   The turnsheet also includes a section for player messages, which are published in the game report (for everyone to see). All messages are identified by the computer according to who sent them, and our normal restrictions apply (ie. keep it clean and fair).
EMAIL & PHONE  You can use your player message to add your phone number and/or email address to the information in the roundup section of the game report.  Simply address the message to PHONE or EMAIL and keep it short.

1.8  PLAYER REPORTS   Each turn you will receive an individual report which repeats back all the actions you made that turn, along with information on technology levels, income, victory points, details of all the systems owned by your empire, and other areas scouted, probed, moved through and attacked (etc). The map included in your individual report shows only the star systems you have "seen" during the game so far (ie. those listed in your game report, plus any others within visible range of the stars you own) and highlights the star systems that you control.

1.9  GAME REPORTS   In addition to your individual player report there are several parts to the game report which are the same for all players. The "Roundup" shows which empires and players are involved in the game, the top three tech levels for each empire, and what the order of play will be for the following turn. The "Messages" section carries player messages (see 1.7) and messages from the GM. There is no "common" general game report other than the roundup, and the actions of the other players are hidden from view except when they have immediate impact on your empire.

1.10  EMAIL REPORTS   There is an option to have your game report sent to you as an email. In order to print out your emailed report once you've received it you'll need to be able to save the file somewhere and run the Windows utility we can provide (it can be downloaded from the website as softsim.co.uk, or it can be emailed to you.). This interprets the printer control codes in the file so that it's formatted correctly.
