UK, colonies and especially the defence of Egypt.

In what way can I build forts, airbases and especially supply depots in colonies? As it is now, the Ialiens dont need any Rommel hel to take suez and beyond. Can I annex Egypts or what?
I did some forum search on the subject but didnt find anything that helped me. Wrong search word maybee.

You can built them in cities ... but why put down a defensive line anyways ... you're better off invading Lybia.

I did in first week owning this game. I came 2 hexes in and then they where out of supply. And I proly got wrong settings on as the units withdraw to Alexandria when I finaly captured a port. Instead of holding it so I could sea supply them. I thought I play UK again when knowing the game more. And trying to remove AI ability to mess my my units orders.

You should be able to build a military complex to claim a hex.

Colonies. Any Hex with a military structure is transferred to you. Plop a military complex and poof that hex is yours. Until they gain independence that is.
