Ok, I have a quick question. Let's say we have three players per team. On team 1- player a, player b, and player c. Team 2- player x, player y, player z. If team 1 goes first, in what order do all the players go? The way I see it, there are three options:

alternating: A, X, B, Y, C, Z
one whole team at a time: A, B, C, X, Y, Z
one team, simultaneously: ABC all at once, XYZ all at once.

Thanks for your help.

I have found a whole team moving at once being the fastest way to play. As those games tend to use many points and take forever anyways, this is a good thing. Also keep in mind, that one player going at a time, two players(his team mates) will have nothing to do at all.

If you're playing it as teams, then ALL of team 1 goes first.
You have three players, moving all their stuff in the movement phase should be a doddle, thence shooting and assault, then it's team 2's turn.

Alright, that makes sense, thanks a ton.

Only ever attempt the "ABC all at once, XYZ all at once".

An apoc game played like that will still take up most, if not all, of a day. Breaking it down into non-simultaneous turns means you better be ready to use up a weeks vacation time to just play this one game.
