2. Are there any strategy value for the airport on Iceland?

Here are a couple wikipedia articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_during_World_War_II
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_Base_Command

Without long rang aircraft tech, American fighters can’t reach England in one turn.  Iceland serves as a possible way-point, especially if the Allies are having difficulty regaining control of the Northest Atlantic.

Incidentally, I think I figured out why pre-war US is allowed to venture warships into SZ 102 for “patrols”: fighters on an acft carrier there can attack Gibraltar or Morocco on Turn 4.

Also, in the event of a successful Sealion G3(successful from the German point of view), planes on patrol in z102 and bombers from the airbase in Eastern USA can hit the German fleet in z109 and z110. This is why you always activate Eire on UK1 - If Germany wants to take away American bomber landing spots, it has to make the attack on London light by at least 2 transports, increasing London’s survivability.

Of course, if you didn’t buy a carrier US1 and park it with planes in z102 on US2, and if you didn’t buy bombers (and park them in EUSA on US2), well… then you had better not lose London!! :lol:

Your right sir Bombs alot.  Planes vs Subs w destroyers should be a 1:1 Ratio.

James pretty well summed it up.  :-)

Ok, thx. I asked because in the old Pacific it was possible.

@RogertheShrubber:

With the German naval station in Western Germany you can bypass 110 and do a landing in seazone 109.

That too, although such an attack (if survived) is easier to block the next turn, where they german fleet has to go all the way back again (while even if they take UK they cannot use the naval bases there)

You’ll see edits on all the posts before this one. I just changed the title from Pacific to Europe.
