I would modify the advice slightly. The big supply routes are to the ports as you move along the coast. The speed of port repair is the limiting factor on supply movement, and the 8th Army needs to leave exhausted/out of supply units at the furthest west repaired port. However eventually a new port will repair and the ground units can move west with the supply. At that stage I move twin engined aircraft forwards to use the supply from the first port. I have a couple of SE fighter units further west, and the 4E aircraft stay well to the east (as they have the range but are major supply hogs. With the ports between your 2E bases and Egypt, cut the supply priority to 0, to maximise shipping for the ones to the west. It is the supply situation that governs the 8th Army advance, nothing else. You can just run the army west as fast as its legs will carry it, but they will be unable to do anything when they get to the Mareth line. I keep pressure on the Axis with 4-6 regiments (Divs broken down) and rest/refit the rest, to rotate them in to rest the active ones.
