@Galendae
Sound thinking - any new front puts pressure on Germany, but one that complicates the counterattack logistics is even better, let alone one that also takes away a National Objective bonus.

When playing on the Europe only map, I’ve found this to be a nice way to pull the rug out from under an Axis advance through the Middle east, as it puts pressure on Berlin, and the Baltic area VC’s, as well as opening routes for nuisance blitzes through northern Soviet territories or liberating Moscow. In tandem with a US strike at Rome, it leaves some German units in western Europe flatfooted, needing to remain to prevent the UK from shifting to a mainland invasion, while dividing Germany’s focus on the Eastern front.

All in all, I agree, Norway is an effective barb for the Allies.
