In the global game I just played, the French North African infantry put up a defence in Tunisia, and held it for 5 turns. The French Mediterranean fleet exited through the Suez Canal and helped put up a fleet blockade, passively protecting India from a rampaging Japan. The French unit in Syria went down to Trans-Jordan, then back up as Egypt fell and Germany managed to march through and grab Iraq. Further south, the French Central African unit marched east to act as a road block for the Italians, and was eventually killed.

It was a wild game.

Might be worth it, might not. Just finished a global game and the UK player was planning to build a minor IC in Egypt, but never quite got around to it before Italy amphibiously assaulted, with support from land, then set up an IC of its own. From that point on, Africa became a battleground between Egypt and South Africa.

As others have said, the worth of a UK IC in Egypt depends on what others are doing. Build it early, if at all, so you have time to put it to use before being run over.

A PDF version would be awesome. Great job on the charts. Just finished my first global game (got Europe 1940 a couple of days ago), and these player aids would really help keeping track of things.
