Now that’s a good idea! Much better place than Egypt or Persia for an IC. Tanks and mechs get to Egypt in 1 move and it will be hard for Italy to take it from you.
A little different spin on it might be:
1 mech from Egypt
1 inf, 1 tank from Alexandria via transport
1 fighter, 1 tac from India lands on carrier
1 cruiser from z39 bombards (maybe also the cruiser from z98 if its not doing anything else)
Activate the 2 inf in Persia with 1 artillery from India via transport
Activate East Persia with 1 inf from West India
Leave 1 inf in Alexandria and all else in Egypt.
Leave the destroyer in z98 so no shore bombards in case Italy were to try a landing
That way on UK2 you can build your IC and also dump those 4 units on Egypt (possibly 6 with the tank and mech).
If all 3 Iraqis hit you could lose a fighter and keep the tank and tac. Send fighter from Burma to fill the carrier.
Send the French destroyer to z81 and the UK fleet will join it next turn.
I am trying this my next game as allies.
Thanks!
