I start south of Timor, head north via the Philippines to China, turn west to Burma and India, check the western ports, then go to Perth, Sydney, the east coast of Australia, the Solomons and Noumea, Panama, the eastern ports, California and up to Alaska, and finally Hawaii.

It usually takes 45 minutes.

Status: offline 		Japanese in mid-1943: Start with combat report, areas of imminent combat. Adjust ships in need of repair / refueling associated with these areas. Check all areas involved in combat report and related nearby battles or pending battles. Review OPs report in detail, noting any changes to production or unusual air or naval losses.

Once every 3 days or so, review production system, resources, oil, fuel and HI production for the economy. Once every 2-4 weeks, review pilot training. Once every week or so, review submarines on long-range patrol (check for SYS damage, fuel, etc.). Once every 3 days or so, review replacement LCUs, ships or air units-halt or expedite as needs dictate.

All told, 45 minutes-1 hour for typical days. Upwards of two hours for pending carrier battles (making sure everything is 'just so') or for major land engagements.

ETA: Once daily check SigInt. This won't take long. It is rarely useful, but worth the 10 seconds it takes to click on the button, 'just in case'.

Allright do you mean with days the days of the game?

Status: offline 		Getting into the discussion a bit late, but I play the Allies and it takes me about 45 min/turn. It's currently July 1943. Interesting that everyone runs their turns different. My path is:

1) Hawaii
2) Alaska
3) West Coast US, Panama
4) Along the South Pacific, Noumea
5) Australia
6) Central Pacific, Japan (mostly subs at the moment)
7) Burma, CBI
8) India

I'm playing 1 day turns @ about 1 turn / day, so the 'days' is interchangeable.
