The Plan.
The Plan.
So Sweden must pay. It's an excellent concept but probably needs slightly more detail to be called a plan. Much deep strategic thinking produces this masterpiece;
1. Control the North Sea
2. Land on Norway's Western Coast
3. Bludgen my way across Norway into Sweden
4. Capture all Swedish cores
5. Annex the evil enemy bringing the quest of furious vengeance to an end.
A fine plan, let's go carry it out. First stage is to control the North Sea; Bomber Command is called of bombing Germany and sent to join Coastal Command in bombing the North Sea. This force, together with the vast but badly arranged fleets the thrice damned Swedes gave the Royal Navy, are to sweep the area clean for the invasion.
Haha! First success, we have sunk a Tirpitz!
Haha! We have sunk the Tirpitz!
In fact the entire force is doing a not to shabby job.
But wait! A cunning Swedish counter-stroke! Is it the Swedish Fleet coming out for another doomed attack? Is it naval bombing of my fleets? Massed armies guarding the Norwegian coasts?
This is either a fiendishly cunning plan or a really, really stupid move by Sweden. Find out next time when the ground war is planned and the invasion goes in!
