We are gonna need a good strategy for the beginning of the next round. I believe we'll only have 12 hours of Cease-fire. The only thing we'll have going for us is that everyone on the map will be on the same footing. I would say that for the first 10 hours (20 cycles) we do everything we can to get a good prod. string started. It would probably be best to get manufacture of all products up to Jet Fuel right away. This will require considerable reinvestment. For the final 2 hours, I'd recommend outposts' spread evenly around your production string, within 1-2 squares of your Dist. Center. Upgrade the outposts' ASAP. Rebels defend even better than inf.
For raiding, inf. are best. So, 1 Mil. Base at first oppurtunity would'nt be a bad thing.
