Good luck, and have fun! And as you said a few years back: May the best German win ;-)
The best of luck to you too, may the best Anglo-Saxon win ;-)

Evaluation:
UK could be in better position if it has option to perform pre-emptive attack on Benghazi. Instead of passive defence by anti-tank guns, two artilleries in Tob would give UK the threatening power against an Axis build-up. The two artilleries would have to be requested in initial replacement, instead of the anti-tank guns.
If UK did not go for aggressive Mediterranean buy in UK1, a UK1 bomber in Atlantic Ocean convey would arrive in UK4 in-time to take part in the pre-emptive attack. But the idea to threaten a Benghazi Axis build-up is valid even without the foresaid bomber. A possible setup is shown below.
-
Edit: What-if UK did not go for aggressive Medi fgt buy in UK1, and instead focus on sea mine in sz 12 and 15, and buy inf art atg at ratio of 4:2:1 and occasional tnk bmb for Cairo.
