That's the nature of indies on Express. Indies are far more balanced on Primary and Tournament server, and only require you to sell once a day (because there are less turns everyday).
Fact is that you need to sell military roughly every 50 to 80 turns you play as an indy, but you get so many turns on Express that to play effectively on Express, you need to sell every 4 hours or more. They mitigated this SLIGHTLY by increasing the maximum amount of units you can sell from 35% to 60% just for Commies on Express server.
But the fact remains that if you want to play an indy on Express, be prepared to play every 4 hours. Every 2 hours ideally, as that is the PS cooldown.
(Indies consistently get into the top 10 every reset on the other 2 solo servers. There are usually more indies than any other strat on all solo servers in the top 10 as well.)
