I see a major problem with that. Either you'd have to log on more than
once per turn, or you get the scout reports on your next turn, then send
the message to the realm or general, and the scout reports are 24 hours
old by that point. Maybe a little *too* realistic. That would definitely
limit the game to those who could log on more than once per turn.
