This pattern is still a stub.


Turn-Based Games like RoboRally and Space Alert can let players set up the sequence of future actions through the placing cards in particular orders. For those games cards are enough since the actions are limited an general (e.g. move left or right) but given the map structure in Diplomacy this is not sufficient - here one instead write down one's next moves on paper.

A mechanized version of this is the Wait maneuver in GURPS where players can specify an action and a trigger which can interrupt the normal turn sequences.

The computerized version of Space Hulk lets the player control the actions of other space marines through entering a tactical mode where specific actions can be set for all squad members; this mode can however only be used for limited amounts of time and the time can only be replenished by being in an action mode where only one marine can be controlled. The Fallout series lets players chosen which actions to perform in combat using
