In the game Φ
N
with simple motions, the pursuer
P
and the coalition
E
N
=
E
1
,
E

, …,
E
N
of evaders move in a plane with constant speeds 1, β
1
,β
2
, …,β
N
. The average distance from a point to a set of points is defined as a weighted sum of the corresponding Euclidean distances with given positive constant weights.
P
strives to minimize the distance to
E
N
and terminates the game when the distance shortening is not guaranteed.
First, we describe several conditions that are met by the states on the terminal manifold
M
Ф
N
of Ф
N
depending on the index of evaders caught there. Then, we study Ф
2
in detail. This game is a game of alternative pursuit since there are three different terminal sub-manifolds:
P
catches
E
1
(
E
2
) on
M
1
Ф2
(
M
2
Ф2
) and all players are apart on
M
θ
Ф2
. We set up and study associated games Ф
1
2
(Ф
2
2
) and Ф
θ
2
with the payoffs equal to the average distance to
E
2
at instants when the state reaches
M
1
Ф2
(
M
2
Ф2
) and
M
θ
Ф2
correspondingly. It is shown that Ф
2
is strategically equivalent to the associated game with the minimal value.
