Atomic Africa (Pt 3): The Game Turn

Game turns in Atomic Africa break down into three phases (Figure 2).  First, players draw playing cards and assign them to units during the Orders Phase.  Next the players execute an indeterminate number of Activation Phases until all units with orders have acted or reacted.  A final Clean-Up Phase follows the Activation Phases, allowing players to eliminate suppression counters (more on suppression later), and prepare their units for the next turn.

The following posts discuss the Phases in detail.
