[Adalwolf]

So how does Italy/Germany counter a first round buy industry buy in Egypt by UK?

Operation Sealion

If you build NAVY on G1, it will prevent an EGY IC Buy.

Yeah. If you’ve committed to Barbarossa though it’s simple: Luftwaffe support and Italian Airforce builds. Transport units over to N. Africa, get rich off the NO’s, and watch Egypt fall.

Agreed, if you built a Carrier with Germany on round 1, and the UK either buys units in S Africa or builds an IC somewhere, the Germans need to go all in on Sea Lion.  As Germany, launch your attack on London on G3 and you should win with acceptable losses.  Situations like these are what Sea Lion is all about :)
