For what it’s worth the first couple of times I played the full campaign I decided that I would play for a certain number of months, going pretty fast, in order to get an idea of how the game played. I then settled in. I am currently in early ‘45 playing as Japan and it has taken me longer than the war lasted !

Why are people such worry warts?

You don't NEED to do everything every turn.

That's the beauty of one day turns in game that runs for well over a thousand days.

All of us suffer form "remembering something three turns later that I meant to do".

When these episodes occur, I chalk it up to orders SNAFUs.

They occurred in the real war with thousands of people responsible for making sure they didn't.

The Coral Sea & Gcanal help a lot. I dove right into the GC and got lucky but there is SO much too learn. UV won't help.

Hello ! I have been silently lurking as I usually do. Not playing as much as I would like because of this and that. I hope you are well.
