My View on building new Allied factories, anywhere is basically this: See what the Axis focus on. After reading some people’s opening moves with the Axis it would seem that let the axis do their thing and then size up the situation.
It boils down to this:
The Axis have the initiative.
See what happens, dont plan out U.K. first move until they go. I mean, building factories is a legit strategy, but wheather it goes in Egypt, Western India or where is really up to the axis.
Personally in all the other editions I have played (my first gam of global is Sept 5.10) Egypt is a great place provided the axis can’t take it over.
One game of Anniversary I played I jump the gun, built a factory in India UK T1 and guess what happend, It was Japans on their next turn.
Anyway, that’s my two cents.
