You can't get any more divisions. Hmmm. Then I shall send an Expeditionary Force into Libya. |

For Darth Revan_ and Darth Nihilus Has support arrived yet? For Manfred von RichthofenI have sent 75 tanks and 11 divisions to Saratov. They are under your control now |

I think I have enough range to the west coast of Norway. But not to eastern Norway (maybe also not north). And Namsos is on Norway's west coast. Namsos is even north of Trondheim, which was out of range of RAF. Also, not entire western coast is in RAF range, only the South Western Coast was in the range of RAF and Namsos is more in the northern Norway. I hate to be that guy... but theoretically, if the RAF built airfields in the Orkney islands, and didn't take round trips to Norway and back, they could travel 1200 miles one way (before crashing or landing in Norway), which covers the entirety of Norway. The range of the RAF was about 600 miles for a round trip. |

Our troops linked up in Norway 12 hours ago. They have been travelling south at a lenient pace since, and have gotten all the way to Bronnoysund. Our 3 destroyers, 18 divisions, 50 tanks, and 12 fighters travel to Rorvik. We will then proceed to Abelvaer, and cross to Namsos by sea. Our fighters have already arrived in Rorvik and are currently building an airfield.
Our navy is ready to proceed to Namsos, and we will provide artillery support to the British.
We are sending an additional 50 ground assault aircraft to Rorvik via Murmansk and Bodo. They will arrive on page 49.
Our troops are always within artillery range of our navy, so they can provide support if necessary.
The USSR army group north signs a temporary non-aggression pact with Romania. We will not engage in combat until at least page 97.

The range of the RAF was about 600 miles for a round trip. Range depends on the type of aircraft. Sopwith Camel has a range of only 300 miles while the hawker hurricane has the range of 600 miles. Yeah, that is true. I guess some of the RAF will be able to access the airfields I put in Norway, while others won't. The distance from the Orkney Islands to Namsos is less than 500 miles, so technically both the Camel and the Hurricanes can reach it (assuming the range you put is for a round trip) |

The ceasefire between the USSR army group North and the German Army Group North will end in exactly one hour.
To prepare our defences, we re-mine the gulf of Finland from Leningrad until Rakvere, and install more underwater torpedo devices.
Our 5 divisions in Pskov and Veliky Novgorod have also been relocated to Tosno.
Moskovsky is still surrounded, and we will give the USSR an ultimatum to retreat once the ceasefire ends, otherwise their troops will be turned into mush. We have recalled a further 150 tanks from our Northern front, towards Leningrad.
The Finnish seem as if they will not attack. But just to be sure, we dig trenches, mine our northern front, and move our fronts back so that they are in range of our Leningrad artillery.
We also move our Leningrad Air Force to Shlisselburg, which is completely out of range of the Soviet artillery, being about 25 km behind the front lines. We house our planes in hidden shelters, and in the forest.

The distance from the Orkney Islands to Namsos is less than 500 miles, so technically both the Camel and the Hurricanes can reach it (assuming the range you put is for a round trip) But Camel won't be able to return as the airfields in Namsos were destroyed. Secondly, Orkney airbase did not have capability to station 400 or even 200 aircrafts. Yeah, but my troops have already captured territory as far south as Rorvik, which is only about 25 km north of Namsos (cause there were no German troops there). I guess the RAF wouldn't be able to send a lot of planes at once, but let's say they send 150 aircraft to Orkney, stop for 1 hour to refuel, and then leave. Then you could probably move all of your airforce in one day from London to Norway |

Our 3 destroyers are proceeding to Namsos to provide the British some support. They will arrive at the same time as the fighters, on page 49. Edit: Our ground forces will arrive on page 52, and our ground assault aircraft will arrive on page 49 as well. Second Edit: A useful resource for everyone (to calculate the "true" distance between cities): www.distancefromto.netThird Edit (lol): Only for Eugene V. Debs I'm gonna need you to engage the German forces. Once they are distracted my navy will launch a barrage at their rear, and my aircraft will undoubtedly create heavy damages. I will then send tanks to cut off their retreat |

Well, this site says that the distance between Namsos and Orkney Islands is 603.3 miles Yeah, but that's 603.3 miles one way. You wouldn't be able to do a round trip to Namsos and back, but you could certainly travel just to Namsos, and then travel an extra 20 miles to Narvik. |

To prepare our defences, we re-mine the gulf of Finland from Leningrad until Rakvere, and install more underwater torpedo devices. Wait what you are in Rakvere, but I thought our boundary ends in west of sosonovy bar Also we reform Helsinki-Tallin chain(with some of the submarines of Finland) and some of our fleet are alredy stationed in the north of Finland, we will not allow to pass any carriers and fleets that belong to Soviets or allies, also we put naval mines in the east of both naval bases(in the north and south of Finland) There is not a single passage for Soviets to pass through sea whole Baltic sea are now under control of Germans(except the eastern side) In addition we use our escort planes to patrol over Helsinki-tallin sea area Since it's ceasefire hours so we will not attack(if we discover Soviet fleets) but we can capture them |

I said this in my long post. |

Yeah, but that's 603.3 miles one way. You wouldn't be able to do a round trip to Namsos and back, but you could certainly travel just to Namsos, and then travel an extra 20 miles to Narvik. But there were literally no airports in Norway due to them being destroyed by German Norwegian Corp (me). Also, that is out of range of even the highest range Hurricanes by 3.3/23.3 miles. You destroyed them, but I spent a whole day building an air field from scratch in Narvik, and two whole days in Bodo, before my fighters arrived and brought oil with them. Plus, the 600 mile range you said for planes is for a ROUND TRIP. That means you can travel 600 miles somewhere, and then 600 miles back. What if, instead of travelling 600 miles to and back, you travelled 603 miles one way, and not back? You'd still have almost half your fuel left |
