Would it be helpful for all of you if you had a gameplan template that you could edit each week and post in your team forum to communicate the gameplan to the team?
If so, I'll put something togther. If anyone has existing examples, please share the wealth with the new folks and I'll incorporate the cream of the crop "...because you are looking for the best of the best of the best..."

UPDATE: Here's the gameplan template. All numbers are just examples and these arent' from a real game. This will be a good tool to communicate with your team with the OCs, DCs, and other GMs are trying to accomplish and how they are trying to do it. It will also help comminicate to all players what their individual tactics should be as well as lay out expectations for the playing time that backsups can expect.
