African Insurgency:
The 4 nations of Africa banning together to create a 4 way draw. The quick splitting of Africa and expansion is necessary, here are the first few moves you will need:

Libya’s 1st round moves:
-Egypt move to Red Sea
-Libya move to Egypt
-North Sudan support move to Egypt from Libya
Libya’s 2nd round moves:
-Egypt move to Saudi Arabia
-Red Sea support move to Saudi Arabia from Egypt
North Sudan move to Chad

LOGIC:
Near East may not necessarily move Saudi Arabia to either Iraq or Syria, but he does usually leave it void of potential support holds. Making a simple alliance is the easiest way to trick Near East. The reason why North Sudan must take chad is so that you can reclaim Libya in case Europe (assuming he moves to the mediterranean) takes it. Libya will take Ethiopia the next phase too. Another variation is Libya supporting North Sudan to Egypt, but in this way you have options between Chad and Ethiopia.

Ghana’s 1st round moves:
-Mali move to Algeria
-Ghana move to Mali
-Guinea move to Mauretania
Ghana’s 2nd round moves:
-Mauretania move to Northeast Atlantic
-Algeria move to Morocco
-Mali move to Algeria

LOGIC:
Europe always has a chance to move to Algeria to bounce you, but there is little way around this without inconveniencing Libya, or making him feel wary (with a move to Niger). Also, this provides a method to move into Northeast Atlantic, which becomes rather important. It is usually vacant after round 2, so this moves has a decent chance of working. The biggest fear is Europe moving to both Mediterranean and Northeast Atlantic first turn, then support convoying onto Algeria. Diplomacy is necessary to prevent this, and it is not too hard to do so.

South Africa’s 1st round moves:
-Sanae IV move to Novolazarevskaya
-South Africa move to Southeast Atlantic
-Namibia move to Zambia
South Africa’s 2nd round moves:
-Novolazarevskaya move to Syowa
-Southeast Atlantic support move to Syowa from Novolazarevskaya
-Zambia hold.

LOGIC:
Although it is usually to make an attempt at 6 SCs, this move, if coordinated with Oz (as a temporary alliance) can prevent Frozen from receiving any builds. It is necessary to be friendly to Frozen and establish some DMZs, especially the one in Southwest Indian, that you can break later. You can build armies in South Africa and Sanae IV, as to gain BAT, convoy onto Frozen, and make an attempt at South Pole. You must establish a DMZ in the Southwest Atlantic with Argentina to prevent trouble, but the army in Zambia can also move to Mozambique for additional builds.

Kenya’s 1st round moves:
-Uganda move to Zaire
-Kenya move to Uganda
-Tanzania move to Northwest Atlantic
Kenya’s 2nd round moves:
-Zaire move to Congo
-Uganda move to Zaire
-Tanzania move to Arabian Sea/Bombay

LOGIC:
The armies are useless for now, except to gain neutral SCs. After taking the Northwest Indian, (India rarely moves there) message India apologizing for ‘accidentally’ threatening him. If he seems absolutely assured at your remarks, perhaps move to Bombay. Moving to Arabian Sea and building 2 fleets, you can support Libya for a turn while also supporting into Northwest Indian (Kenya supporting Tanzania, then Zaire moving to Tanzania) can set you up to a supported convoy into Bombay. The second option is to regular convoy into Iran, and play the ‘long game’ and for this to work, try to work with China.


Ghana’s intentions are to move on Europe, and then onto North America. Libya is meant to attack Near East, and into Russia. South Africa attack Frozen, and then onto South America. Kenya attack South Asia, and then tries to control the entirety of the Indian Ocean. In this way, if one nation is succeeding and another is struggling, they can help one another. The Africa continent has 19 SCs, but that goes up to 23 if you take Saudi Arabia, Sanae IV, Syowa, and British Antarctic Territory.
The African Insurgency ends up as: 23.5% of the nations controlling 26.7% of the SCs available. That is a 3.2% advantage.
The North American 3 way alliance ends up 15 SCs, 17.4%, among 3 nations, which is 17.6%. That is a -.2% disadvantage.
The South American 2 way ends up as 11.8% of the nations controlling 11.6% of the SCs. This is a -.2% disadvantage.

No other truly effective alliance is as great as the African Insurgency, though some do have good positioning. The USSR alliance is a dangerous one, as is the FrOZen alliance. Still, the ‘bang for the buck’ falls to Africa.
