Allied Convoy Setup

The commonwealth controls the following resources and factories:

The Commonwealth has 81 Convoy points (assuming you're using Ships in Flames).

This uses 9 French CP to do all the Allied shipping through the Med. If the Italians declare war on the French and not the Commonwealth, they are likely to end up back at peace once France falls, and they won't be able to harrass the British. The CW will need 6 CP through the Med to replace the French CP. If any of those survive, they should be moved to French africa in hopes that they will be Free French.

That gives 15 Resources to the UK, maximizing their production at 21, which will give 11 BP in 1939. The chains use 66 CW convoy points and 6 French convoy points, leaving 15 free convoy points for the CW. The French will have 9 resources, giving them 5 BP in 1939.

Once Italy declares war, the Med may get too dangerous to route convoys through, and after France falls, the Bay of Biscay may be too vulnerable to German air cover.

Any of the CP in the Faroes can alternatively be put in the Bay of Biscay. The CP in the Bay of Biscay can be routed through the North Atlantic instead if an equal number of CP are also added to the Faroes.

The Med can be skipped, and the Indian resources can be brought around Africa for 8 more CP (though you'll need 9 as a CP in the red sea is needed to keep Egypt in supply).

In that case
