jjdenver's plan is EXCELLENT! Hard to improve on that.

I would just reiterate, do all this at the very beginning, because once France falls, Italy enters, subs have good Atlantic bases and supply can be a REAL problem, just like in the war.

You probably know this, but there's a 25% penalty for supplies extending beyond 100AP, and 50% penalty for those extending beyond 150 AP worth.

Also, and this REALLY confused me while I was learning, for the supply production from a city or resource center to wherever you're designating that production to got to goes DIRECTLY to that HQ, NOT through the HQ's subHQ's. So setting production from Calcutta to London, EVEN if you've got HQ's chained within 100AP all the way (London-Gibraltar-Alexandria-Kuwait-Calcutta, or something like that) you will get the full 75% penalty.
BUT, IF you set Gibraltar's HQ to be Malta, and Malta's to be Alexandria, Alexandria's to be Kuwait, and Kuwait's to be Calcutta, then you could have Calcutta CITY (NOT HQ) send production to Kuwait, with no penalty, then Kuwait would send it down the line to Gibraltar without penalty.

All kinds of possibilities and variations, but jjdenver's is an EXCELLENT way of managing all this.

This makes no sense. You can not set a hqs to a city. You can put a hqs IN a city.
