Early in the game I thought USSR was going for Norway so I panicked and bought that IC thinking I could throw up 10 infantry to defend it. Now I am wishing that IC wasn’t there! Oh well live and learn.

no worries about posting in the opponent thread, I was joking and for sure did not mean to attack or insult you :)
It’s kinda hard for USSR to go for Norway, I have to admit I thought about it for a while and have seriously considered it when I was trying some out of the box thinking, but I realised it would severly weaken my defenses so I decided not to do it. The key is to try to postpone the fall of Moscow as much as possible, so I went for that, although I’m far from sure if I did it the right way.
Interesting choice you do now with Italy.

Yeah taking Finland/Norway costs Germany 10 IPCs and gains USSR 5. USSR might lose Leningrad and maybe not hold Norway for long, but then again Germany might have to waste a lot of money on transports. It would put a monkey wrench into Germany’s plans for sure. In our case, I blew 30IPCs on a major IC and was prepared to blow another 35 on infantry/artillery to defend Norway as soon as you went into Finland. Anyway that’s how we learn the game.
Japan 9 coming right up.
