Ok, then this setup is similar to my, but i used less HQ�s.
And yes, 50% penalty is also for supply as far as i know.

My empire covers a huge stretch of territory (15 hexes left before my Eastern units meet my Western units) and I can no longer redirect production from anywhere to anywhere else due to the distances involved.

Sounds like a nice problem to have ; )

Turn to Russ. In the North, I was able to capture an island city mostly through air attack. I sank a loaded transport and bombed a few more production areas.

I have alot of production locations but it is pretty simple. Most of the production is inland. For inland villages, I build 10% supply, 10% staff, 80% rifle. I can now forget about the place until I build a road or port to connect it to the rest of the network. For inland towns and cities, I build engineers until they can connect. At that point, I shift to planes. All I have to do is then move the planes to the correct edge of my territory. For coastal locations near the edge of my territory, I build ships. I also name the HQ after the location so it is easy to find (just go to supply view). I will also rename locations relative to their location on my territory. The city I captured from Seille was originally painted by me (though Seille occupied it first). I named it Northern Front (though it would be Seille's Southern Front).

@Archduke
Maybe we just a had a bad start, BUT pls when you can�t do your turn like yesterday INFORM the other players.
All of us expect to get daily turns.
Russ did not point out that clear enough at the start. This is a ULTRAFAST game. All of us should be able to answer every day and if this is not possible
the player has to inform the others.
This is not like other PBEM where you just do 2 or 3 turns a week.

We want to keep the game speed very fast and avoid any delays. If these delays start to get longer players might lose interest and the game dies.
In case you have a busy weekend you maybe can find a friend or ally to play the turn for you

@Russ
Dropping Archduke now ? A clear NO.
We had similar problems last game and it was only temporary. Or did we drop you ?

I agree. The main thing is that it would be nice to know if delays will happen as oppose to just waiting.

Turn sent. Interesting turn. I knocked out 11 of Seilles planes to a loss of 5 of mine. 2 bombers and 9 Fighter II were the tallies. I lost 3 fighter I and 2 fighter II. Gratifying turn for me. I also lead in loss inflicted in one turn. I'm sure this will change later. Seille appears to be in a fix as he is surrounded by hostile forces. Let's see if he can pull his nuts out of the fire.

Attacked by the Berbers. He lost 20 infantry against a capitol city he did not take in time. It appears to be in his area of interest.
What is George doing? Hmmm.. Will he come to the aid of a past ally? Time will tell.

Perhaps I was harsh on Archduke. Not my intention, but I will remind folks that a quick turnaround is necessary or communication is needed. The turns WILL slow down as we get deeper in the game. This is a large map. I also reserve the option to find another player if this type of delay continues without communication.
Now...back to winning! Arditi

And on.

I am not sure if Arditi�s move into War Academy was brilliantly daring or rather ignorant. One way or another, the Berbers will not accept this island in the hands of a foreign power. We recommend evacuating it, quickly, before the Sea Raiders have a full blown war at their hands.

The Sea Raider Nation's concern is for the proper governance of this city and it's lands. This idle city would have had to have been within your nation's sphere for quite awhile to remain idle and ungoverned. This is a shame, but proper law is on it's way.

Top Secret photo found!

Notice the Vandal plane(s) going down. If you look closely...is that Sir Seille in the cockpit!?

In addition, his ally, "Archduke of the Berbers" has lost a rich resort city called "War Academy". If you look closely you can see Arditi, of the "Sea Raiders" walking through the city chattin' up the local talent.

This city is a valued addition to our Empire.

All in fun gents!!

Turn to George.

@Arditi
Ally ? So far i fight on my own. I fight superior production and so far i can live with the outcome.
Enjoy the production advantage as long as you can

Hopefully you did not forget what Workers Team did with your fascists and what WT airforce did with
your fascist fighter IV

@Archduke
Feel free to hit Russ as hard as you can. Otherwise he could think a success in a fight 2vs1 is a thing he can be proud of.

Turn to Tom

My circumnavigation of the globe is nearly complete. Contact has now been established with both Tom and Archduke, but the latter has yet to respond to my communications... Probably too involved in fighting the Sea Raiders, or so I hope, but that submarine group off one of my ports is something that needs to be addressed soon...

Of course, submarines do have accidents every once in a while... it would be unfortunate if it would happen to that one.

An old myth written down in the annals of revisionist history my stalwart foe.

I offered Seille peace in this game and it was rejected, he attacked me first.

Turn sent to Arditti

Continued attacks in the North. We traded fighter casualties. I lost a few LB in strikes, I also sank a few subs.

Still quite elsewhere.

I also offered peace to Juergen...no answer. This is a diplomacy game. If you don't deal with others you pay...

Playing turn now.

Turn done. Dropped 5 more of Juergen's fighter II to a loss of one fighter I and three fighter II. Lost a Cruiser II to Juergen during his turn. I am at the doorstep of Darth Seille's town of "Hitman". He moved some engineers into it to establish some defence or repair. It should fall soon. he also landed some small units on my coast that are easily dispersed. He has a small flotilla with two cruisers and a cargoship coming my way. Probably to try to snap up a city or village or two.
Very interesting strategic situations arising.
Best Regards, Arditi

@Russ and Tom

I know i fight you both. I know i did not want to make peace with you.
Just wanted to point out that it�s not hard to have a success in a 2vs1 situation.
However it�s a interesting fight.
