Wow!1 7/43 already, how turns do you get in a day?

Indeed, I'm on Jan 15th 1942 on my first campaign!

This game started May 42 , we do about one turn a day sometimes 2 or 3

The more turns you do the quicker each one is as you can remember what you were doing from before

Is there an AE scenario with a May '42 start?

[Cavalry Corp]

No but I guess one will be made

Problem is setting up historical start lines I think , the WITP one had silly start lines but they do not matter after a week or so , its May 42 onwards , thing start to get interesting for both players.
