NWOL Turn Scheduling Rules

NWOL Turn Scheduling

Turns every 7 days (normally either Monday or Thursday).
Declaration of war and/or requests for campaigns take effect immediately if made five days (120 hours) or more prior to turn deadline. If declaration of war is made less than five days prior to deadline, the declaration does not take effect until the following turn. If a campaign is initated, the scheduled peace/truce turn becomes a campaign turn, and declarations of war can be made and take effect up to 48 hours before turn deadline. If a campaign is not initated, the peace/truce turn runs as scheduled. If a campaign request has been made less than five days prior to deadline, then the next turn is a campaign turn, and set for 7 days after the peace/truce turn. If not, the next turn is a peace/truce turn, and set for 7 days after the peace/truce turn.

Turns every 3/4 days (normally Monday and Thursday).
Declarations of war take effect immediately if made 48 hours or more prior to turn deadline, otherwise they take effect for the following turn. They have no effect on the turn schedule.
Peace agreements take effect immediately and have no effect on turn schedule unless all nations at war have made peace or agreed to truces. If so, then if more than 48 hours remain before turn deadline, and no further declarations of war are received, the campaign turn is cancelled and end of campaign reports are printed at once. If less than 48 hours remain, then the next turn is carried out as scheduled as a campaign turn, and end of campaign reports are printed the following day.
Truces take effect immediately. They have no effect on turn schedule unless all nations at war have made peace or agreed to truce, in which case the same rules apply that apply for peace agreements.
If all nations at war reach peace or truce agreements, then if a declaration of war is received more than 48 hours before the turn deadline, then the campaign continues as a result of the new war. If the declaration is received less than 48 hours before the turn deadline, then it is evaluated as it if was received after the end of the campaign (below).
After T15, the campaign ends even if nations remain at war. End of campaign reports are printed the day after T15 runs (normally Tuesday or Friday).

No orders are processed, but reports are printed to include return of wounded, prisoners, stragglers, and shattered units, and manpower/finance for the season.
After reports are printed, the next turn is scheduled as a peace/truce turn, 7 days after the deadline of the last campaign turn (including any turn that was cancelled).
If there is no state at war when the campaign ends, then nations may not open a new campaign until the scheduled peace turn is run. This ensures that when hostilities end there will always be at least one peace turn. If a state is at war when the campaign ends, then that state may open a new campaign, but a state not at war may not do so.
Declarations of war, and initiation of campaigns when permitted under the above rule, take effect immediately if made more than five days prior to the scheduled peace/truce turn. A legal initiation of a campaign changes the scheduled peace/truce turn to a campaign turn, as it does for any other peace/truce turn (see above). If declaration of war or initiation of campaign are made less than five days prior to the scheduled peace/truce turn, they take effect for the following turn, 7 days after the scheduled peace/truce turn.
