Any reason to attack Sweden or Norway?

Do you think there is any reason to attack these two neutrals? I can’t think of any.

[Tamer of Beasts]

@SuperbattleshipYamato None whatsoever. All those units needed to take the territories will not only be far out of position to be of any real use, and that reality combined with the at least 4 units lost (statistically speaking) taking it make it not even close to worth it, in my opinion. I’d rather send my transports where I need them on the frontlines instead of send them frolicking through the proverbial Scandinavian daisies.

@Tamer-of-Beasts

Agreed.

So I guess there really is no creative way to make this work.

[Tamer of Beasts]

@SuperbattleshipYamato Yeah… only possible scenario I MIGHT consider is if the Germans are chasing a Russian stack into Finland anyway and finish the chase there with enough units to take one of the neutrals. But still, only if I see no reason to bring them back west, which is unlikely.

@Tamer-of-Beasts

I’ll try to manufacture that scenario in a game I’m gonna play (against myself).

@Tamer-of-Beasts

Finished a game where I successfully manufactured the scenario (against myself, sorry it’s 2.6, my 2.5 TripleA refuses to allow new games to start):

Quite a unique game.

@SuperbattleshipYamato the answer is no but i did once in a game i was the British and had a commanding navy in the north atlantic and was able to launch a large amphibous assault into norway. it was great fun.
