Status: offline 		I'm just wondering, on average how long do you guys take before you process a turn?? I spend quite awhile, probably 1 hour or more making sure I have done everything exactly the way I want it before I process a turn. It's taken me 5 months to play 50 days and I dont play everyday. Just curious

About 3 hours per turn (pbem).

For the most part, my turns are < 1/2 hour -- sometimes 10 - 15 minutes.

Status: offline 		I dont know how you all play, obviously there's going to be a ton of unique strategic minds in here but personally I first rotate through all my bases assigning fleets, air ops, ground ops, supply and resource needs then skim check all my surface fleets out of port on missions and make sure everything is kosher with them such as ASW (which I use so much with those damned pesky allied subs EVERYWHERE,I've only sunk 7 subs in 2 months game time) lol, after that I check on any ground engagements and make sure the set-up is good and what I want. For me the base duties are what takes the longest because of how much there is to check on or set-up. Right now my biggest issue is supply in China which I'm still trying to sort out. I would like to know how some of you guys operate.

China is a big concern for me.
First, my opponant use the DeathStar strategy, wich is very hard to stop.
Second, supply is a real problem. I can't see any good hint. I have some Transport Squadron flying supplies from Chungking to front line base, or from Yenen (supposed to receive the 500 supplies from Burma Road) to others base. But i am always in lack of supply.

As for the lenght of time for a turn, well, the quickest i made was 40 mn. I need to check everything (but sometime i forget some stuff). I made it area after area.

Status: offline 		I tend to keep an eye on things, but you have a feel for a base that's building so don't need to look every turn.  A unit issued marching orders will get there if you look or not and once a TF is loaded and on it's way a quick peek will be enough to monitor it's progress. 

Planning and executing the opening moves of a large op take time, but once it's in motion just keeping an eye on it is enough. 

For my PBEM, "Battle Under: The Allies Fight Back" a shameless plug for the AAR, I keep a calendar that I enter new unit arrival & location.  I use WitpTracker to keep an eye on many things and using player defined upgrades to decide is it really worth upgrading a unit. 

Some turns are therefore longer than others so as long as you can remember what's going on it helps to speed things up.  I find it awful to cycle through everything to get back into a game that was inactive for a week or so.

But what i experienced is that the more you play (a turn a day, or a turn a week) the quicker the turns are plannable.

i'm playing my brother, as some know. We had a couple of turns in a row when i was at his place a while ago.
when you planned your last turn, just half an hour ago you dont need to check up on every detal, we almost played a week in game time in that one afternoon, that was awesome.
now that were down to 1 or 2 turns a week it can takeup to 2 hours easily to check up on TF's/ supply levels etc etc..
