    Do NOT exclude the Norweigan letters!
    It's just more realistic not to exclude them, and much nicer imho.

      What unit scale are you planning on using?

        It depends on the historical input you guys can provide me with. I just know the very shalow history of this campaign. It will take me months if I must dig into it thoroughly, so some help would make it alot easier.

        What scale would you suggest?

            So is Sweden just there to take up space?

              Correct. Can't have a total map of Norway without including Sweden, Finland and the Baltics. As you can se Norway stretches quite far nort-easwards. I made the borders unpassable just in case, you all know how stupid the AI can be. And this to limit the war to were it's supposed to be - in Norway!

                Battalion would probably be the best choice, - with 6(?) divisions this would give the Germans 60 odd infantry units. If you went with companies the Germans would have 180+ units which is probably unmanageable.

                BTW, nice map!

                  If you include the Baltics, will you have Soviets?

                    I'm not 100% sure when the Soviets totally annexed the Baltics. Was it not in August 1940? I do belive they sent some Red Army troops earlier on though.

                    Anyway, the only two civs in this scenario will be the Germans and the Norwegians/Allies. Everything else will be filled with black and those little flags you see on the screenshot.

                    Thanks!

                    I think there are room for some naval warfare deep in the narrow Norwegian fjords

                      Yes (j/k).

                      I'd like to help Eivind but I am currently mid-way through a large project for someone else, so I won't be able to do anything for some weeks.

                            Keeping the interest up

                            I've found a book that down to battalion show the placement of troops and show the placement of both German and Allied ships on the 9th of April. So this will be a completely authentic invasion of Norway.

                            It also shows all the Norwegian strongpoints and coastal batteries.
