So I've definitely realized that to be competitive in the world of General Quarters (or the OTF download) limit, I want to be able to download a personnel not just every one of my own turns, but on every one of my opponent's turns.
But if I'm playing with a dilemma that includes a personnel download, the last thing I want to do is to initiate that download prior to my opponent acknowledging the completion of the execute orders phase. Otherwise my very nice Diplomatic Intervention or Enemies of the State may as well be blank.
Of course, I also don't want to end up missing my opportunity to initiate the download because by the time I try to play the card, it's too late and my opponent's turn is over.
I don't think I have an issue when it comes to -- they suspend play. My opponent says "I'm ending my turn," and reaches for the draw deck, I say "Not just yet, I'm using my . OK now you can end your turn with a card draw."
But I'm not sure if I can do this using an interrupt that performs a personnel download because of the valid response restriction:
If not, could I squeeze the interrupt in between end of turn actions that my opponent chooses to, or is required, to take? So my opponent uses Risk is our Business to draw a card before the normal end of turn card draw, I play my interrupt, then she or he takes a regular end of turn draw. Or I put a dilemma into play that has an "end of every turn" action, just to be sure I have this end of turn window to play my interrupt?

You may not normally interrupt your own actions, or your opponents' actions, unless you use a card that is a valid response to that action or a card that suspends play.So basically I guess I'm wondering whether playing an interrupt -- something like I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer or Your place is on the bridge (targeting my damaged ship) -- would be a "valid response" to my opponent attempting to end her or his turn.
