Do you mean each player would get an kind of fix time slot, in a
round-robin fashion, in which he would be the only one to be able to
move  units ? (A sort of time division protocol, for those
telecommunication enginners out there ;-) I'm not quite sure it would
solve the problem, because, though you would get rid of some chance
factors, like whose request reaches the server first, you would still
have the urge to carry out as many moves as you can in your allocated
time. I'm afraid the frustration Tony mentionned would still be there.
