Hi

As per the title. I would like to turtle up the UK so need a cheap template which I can use to defend ports her around the world.

Failing that (how do you even get the xp to build the templates?!), what would be good units for port defence?

I will make sure I have naval supremacy etc.

Thanks!

To get the xp hire the correct advisor and train your troops on the map.

As the uk I use the colonial division to garrison my over seas area. I add support arty, eng and in my last game aa though I think that was a waste of MIC. Later I added hisputals and at. I aimed for 2 units per port and more for general policing work in Africa and malaya.

On the home island just use the standard inf you have if your turtling and not sending a BEF to France.
