A quick example: card comes up that lets me give people actions out of turn, I just need to choose who. Averni (green, Gary Kacmarcik) are killing it, and just need one good strike on the Romans (red, Joshua Yanchar). Belgics (yellow, Sage LaTorra) are doing alright, but are better positioned to strike Gary than I am (Aedui, blue).
I negotiate with Sage to get a good blow in on green while keeping the Romans alive. However, this gives him the move he needs to gain control in an important province. No problem, I think, we should have time to deal with that.
Couple cards later, it’s frost: no March, no good way for Rome to deal with Sage’s armies for control.
