Edwin P. Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Iceland is included in the Sc2. What role has this country played in the ongoing Beta tests, or is it totally ignored by both sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well I can't say I ignored it, I had to show a few little issues with Iceland which have since been fixed. But Iceland declares independance if Denmark is attacked (as in WW2) and eventually has a nice little bomber for Atlantic patrols, so sub raiders have to be carefull.

Edwin P. Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Iceland had an interesting history during WWII. "German occupation of Denmark on April 9, 1940, severed communications between Iceland and Denmark. As a result, on April 10, the Parliament of Iceland, Alþingi, elected to take control of foreign affairs into its own hands, electing a provisional governor, Sveinn Björnsson, who later became the republic's first president. During the first year of World War II Iceland strictly enforced a position of neutrality, taking action against both British and German forces violating the laws of neutrality. On May 10, 1940, British military forces sailed into Reykjavík harbour, beginning the invasion and occupation of Iceland by Allied forces in violation of international law, which would last throughout the war."
