So, there will be an Allied triforce in Africa after all, but what are we looking at here in terms power, one or two infantry?

Two; one with the triforce of courage and one with the triforce of wisdom to counter the triforce of power. grin

To be honest even if Egypt can fall, I think it's better that Africa has British defense in the first place

Better than what? When has Africa not has British defense?

yeah doesn't it annoy you when Germany or Italy or whatever is just blitzing through all of Africa.

In AA50 UK has 9 units in Africa in both versions. I was expecting somewhere around 12-15 in E40.  I was figuring on maybe two air units, a couple of art, at least one tank, one mech, and the rest in inf scattered about. Then maybe 4-5 French, plus that all important Anz inf or two, bringing the total allied units there to around 20. I wasn't putting Italy that high, maybe 10, with the ability to get more across the Med very early on.

I have to be honest, I really haven't done any research to see what each side had there, but I would think that just by looking at the Pac set-up and all the extra tt in Africa, that there would be a significant increase down there over AA50. Is double the units of AA50 out of the question binging the allies around 18-20 units?

As far as more tt, and units taking many turns to get around (even 2 move units), you could use tpt to reinforce Egypt quicker from S African complex making the NB's very vital.

My guess is 18-20 total, including the Axis forces in Egypt.

I DISRESPECTFULLY DISAGREE, I THINK THEY SHOULD NOT FORGET ABOUT THE LICHTENSTEIN SOLDIERS THAT RESISTED BRAVELY AGAINST THE GERMANS FOR A FULL 2 HOURS IN THE BLITZKRIEG

LARRY, WE NEED A LIECHTENSTEIN FACTION REPRESENTED PLEASE
