I am alittle on edge about the change because in about the next 60 days I need to start some offensive and I have not been playing 2day turns so I dont have any experience w/2day.

Status: offline 		Too true- the change should be via mutual agreement, however some experience in offensive operations in 2 day turns
-If you're not assaulting an atoll it gives you 2 days to unload before your opponent can react (if you time it right) or 1 day but you get to start further out to sea (outside his air search arcs)
-It slows your rate of assault on the ground as you can't attack, push the enemy out of the hex and immediately follow up the next day- however with overwhelming force you can set many of your units to pursue and be in the same hex (or nearly) as your opponent retreats to
-If you mess up it's going to hurt, often twice as much

I did say ok but reserve the right to slow the game back to one day turns if the action gets too fast. I might like two day turns. It will make it easier for both of us to resupply our troops(him more than me as I now have a combat ship advantage). I just got 20 LSTs, 10 DDs, and 5 DEs in one turn.

I see that not having a restriction on cross border transfer(manchuko garrison at full pp price) has a dramatic game changing effect. I request counter balance.

The russians would have been providing supply in real life. Request u activate the russians so that I can provide supply to china. The russians will not cross border.

Sadly , I want a no rules game but the effect(manchuko garrison used in china) borks the chinese in this senario. I must also apologize to you for changing the long run effect of this game. I should have assumed command using the original house rules.

I hope I have played a good china. It is possible I am to blame for the failure. feel free to publish this request on your AAR.

Sincerly,
Paul
