My friend who plays all the anglo powers in our games always spends the first 3-4 turns by moving everything that can go to Cairo to Cairo. So he has been flying the ANZAC Ftrs there. First to Malaya, then to India, then to French Madagascar, and finally to Cairo. In the meantime nearly all the Pacific UK units are there too. The ANZAC ftrs have also often aided Soviet defence of Moscow, or Stalingrad from German and Japanese SBR’s and ground attacks.
Additionally, he always takes Brazil with ANZAC and builds a factory there (since in global, especially with Alpha, ANZAC ALWAYS has its +8 NO, and has the money for that stuff). I think that its decent, The idea is simply for more Allied can opener moves against Axis, which are especially helpful in straights and canals, when they are Axis held.
US always grabs persia for a factory there. UK usually builds its fleet in Canada for safety until its large enough to travel to England, and enough trannies to do a South Africa Shuck to Cairo. All very good at picking at the Axis fringes and strongly limiting Italian expansion. This is all in turns 1-4 though, before war is declared on US. Once turn 4 hits its a different, and more direct, game.
