Heres an idea…what if you REINFORCE Norway…take Karelia. Than on NCM move the ARM from eastern into Norway. Also bridge over a second ARM and a 4th INF. Then land 3 FIGS there as well.
Benefits: Uk doesnt get its 3 IPC boost.
Fighters are still in range of SZ 12 and Russian terroritories.
As a staging point Noway is just as close to West Russia as Eastern is.
Any thoughts?
Unless you reinforce your baltic fleet on G1 you might as well write off Norway for the rest of the game.
Have to agree with JSP.
And if you start spending major money on fleet, you are in serious trouble versus Russia, which you are already weak against staging that many units in Norway.
Norway can too easilly be cut off by the Allies, and US and UK can hit it HARD in Turn 2, killing lots of valuable German units in the process.
Norway isn’t worth squat in my mind…
…if I have a transport left in the Baltic, and there’s only one Allied unit there, I’ll usually take it back, but I’ve never committed anything to try and actually maintain a hold on it, and I can’t imagine that I ever will.
The “traditional” buy of 1 ACC on G1 (then reinforce Norway) allows you keep 3 IPC’s away from UK’s economy and you dont have to spend units to take it back on G2. Besides, you can always move out the same way you moved in. VIA trns for INF and through Kariela with ARM.
Norway is like a useless appendage that, once it has fulfilled its purpose, should probably be given up. So yeah, once Norway is in Allied hands, unless I’m desperate for cash, they can have it. Unless they take it and then take away their guys, in which case i’ll just throw in an inf to mess with them.
I notice that most of you “trash-talk” Norway. I would like to state for the record that Norway rocks!
For anyone who disagrees I’m willing to crack yer hoopla in a game of AAR here on the boards.

Great, until America takes it and puts up an IC there.
The longer it’s feasible to hold Norway the better it is for Axis(an abvious point)
Sankt, I will take you up on your offer on a game. Name the time and place and let’s git it on! Or PM me with all the details, whichever works.
