Dan Cook Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 What is with Britain's obsession with Norway? Every scenario I've played deals with them obsessivly taking over Norway. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Maybe because in the year 1046 Norwegian Vikings invaded Britain, the british were able to repel this invasion but we unable to repel the Norman invasion that took place at the same time.

dragoon19 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Norway is just such a nice place for the UK to start hurting the Germans. It is close to home and in SC it means a lot more than the almost pointless limited fight over the suez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thucydides Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Absolutely true. The Germans (AI) do not seem to be able to get any defence of Norway together... so if Britain can take Bergen with a naval assault (+ aircraft carrier), bring in more troops to the port - then capture Oslo pretty fast. From there, an air unit gives a view of what's going on in Denmark/N.Germany - and can cover troops being sent through the Baltic to help out the Soviets. Allied fleets based in Oslo also add to the position. But I am still unhappy that SC does not really allow for a proper reflection of the strategic importance of Egypt/Suez.
