==== Game Loop Screen ====

The Game loop screen is the first thing that you will see when you start a new game or end the turn of a regime that you are playing.
The Game loop executes a number of steps and at the end of executing all steps for a non-sleeping regime not played by the AI the player can start playing his turn in the [[Main Screen]]

=== Steps ===

The game loop screen does the following in the order given below.

== Start of Game ==
This only happens the first time the Game Loop screen is opened. It does the following:

* Set original owners of hexes

And for every regime:

* Reset AP/Stack penalties

* Set initial peek
