It's come up while clan battles were being thought out. Being a new rule, we may as well investigate it now before we reject/apply it to any future tournaments of any sort.

Simply put, whatever players you used in the last match, battle OR campaign, you have to field folks who haven't been on yet.

So:

Clan ThingyDudes has guys: A,B,C,D,E,F

'ThingyDudes' plays A,B,C and D in their first match.
Therefore, in their NEXT match, 'ThingyDudes' have to play E and F, and choose 2 guys out of A, B, C and D.

Say for the sake of argument, they play B and C. Then the third match means they MUST field guys A, D, E and F, and so every player in the clan has now played 2 times

Simple questions. Good rule or not? Should it be in future clan campaigns and battles, and if so/not, why so/not?

Bad "rule" since people can frequently come and go from clan to clan. Also maintenance of it from the game standpoint would be a nightmare.

I would say bad, on the grounds that you cannot guarantee that all 6 guys in the example will ALWAYS be around to play whenever necessary.

Edit: Running count, 0 for 3...

It's nice in theory, but it probably won't work. So I guess we'll continue with some players just being benchwarmers.
