You can’t land your planes in Finland with only 5 movement. Unless you’re claiming that Finland connects directly to z126, which does not seem to be the case. If that had been the case I would have defended my stack there more carefully.
I’m looking for official confirmation that z126 does not border Finland, and this is what I have found so far:

Here’s an image of the actual board that shows they do not connect:

The flight path was UK –> z110 --> z112 --> z125 --> Norway --> Finland. The fighters can reach Finland because UK has an airbase.
Every game I have played so far has involved me losing a stack of Trn to my inability to count to 5 (or 7). Sigh. I still think I’m doing pretty well, though.
