Hmm, so I brought 2 Italian armies to East Africa, but a lot of my units got casualties because supply was cut off at Suez or something. Is this a one-time event (I hope)? And is there anything I can do about it?

Did you also get the optional HQ to appear in EA? Without an HQ you will not achieve full supply. Suez will limit your supply until you take Suez from the Allies.

Indeed. Yes to DE 700 would seem like a perquisite.

Yup; it didn't seem to help.
My main issue for now is that I had casualties with every unit in East Africa without engaging in combat.

Sorry - never experienced that. And you have Graziani in a settlement with a supply value of least 5? Typically units only take casualties if they are out of supply. Have you checked your supply routes? Press 'S' to show current supply value. Press again to show predicted supply for next turn.

Hmm, I couldn't replicate the problem with older saves. Either this was a one-time bug - or I was mistaken somehow.
