[QUOTE="Rassilon, post: 2664097, member: 15065"] Some Ideas: Introduce some sort of artifical structure to assist organisation. Perhaps model the group on a military squad (or small mercenary band, or large surgical team, or whatever) so that everyone sort of 'falls' into a role bsaed on whatever is happening at the time. Lots of good advice above. Table discipline is going to be absolutely essential if you actually get 10.

In terms of the game itself: stick to straight combat or 'military' missions for a while at least. You know, clean out the kobold caves, guard a caravan, guard a person, that sort of thing.
