This British hoi4 template is suitable for defending Egypt but it can also be used to help in France, as the British Expeditionary force (BEF), if there is a human player. It has been designed to see action in 1939-1940 using standard UK production.
This British Expeditionary Force template has plenty of anti-tank and artillery to counter and attempt to stall Axis’ tanks. Particularly a human-played Germany, but other typical Axis players that build tank divisions can be Hungary and Romania. It has also 45 of width which is optimal for the desert terrain.
Another idea behind this template is that by focusing on strong defensive infantry divisions, UK can hold Egypt without investing in researching, designing, and producing tanks.
If you want to hold El Alamein, other useful tips include:
- A Canadian player that builds defensive mechanised divisions and commits them to Suez.
- Green air
- A surface fleet in coastal bombardment in the adjacent sea tile.
