Not to be confused with turns-by-initiative or time-slicing.

This is akin to Chess, Stratego, and other traditional strategy games.

All turn-based games can be assumed to allow you to control all units/characters on your side on single turn/round as long as they're capable of being commanded (e.g. not stunned or otherwise prevented from taking commands).
