Important place of ww2

[Skoshi Tiger]

After the Britain map, I guess we're all expecting North Africa. Would it hurt to ask for a Norway map to fly our Blenheims, Martlets, early model Spitfires and Hurricanes on. Give the axis a bit of fun too with early model aircraft.

Cheers!

From Norway Attak ENGLAND
From Germany Attak ENGLAND
From.....?????? exist another way fro attak England?

[Novotny]

A fro attak? The Tuskagee Airmen didn't even start training until 1941, and they were on the red team. Doesn't make sense.

LOL, I can't see a single red line going from Germany to England.

The CAI G50 were based in Ursel and Maldeghem, the BR20 bombers in Brussels/Melsbroek and Chièvres.

The Cr-42 were based in Ursel.

I have the feeling none of the airfields above belong to the map, but we may be able to replace them by either Oostende, Koksjide or Ieper.

Besides the G50 were also using Desvres and Merville as forward airfields at the end of their stay in Belgium so we could be covered there.

I'm thinking we have a language barrier issue here.

at first glance it might sound odd because it is a long way away (compared to france or belgium's coast), but it is a historical fact the germans used planes from norway during the BoB period

... Luftflotte 5, led by Generaloberst Hans-Jürgen Stumpff from his headquarters in Norway, targeted the north of England and Scotland...

german losses in those attacks were very high, and their pilots dreaded the journey (isnt this the period/location they started refering to themselves as "tomato" ?). they often met high english resistance and be outnumbered, and damaged aircraft on the return journey often had to ditch in the sea which was an almost certain death sentence (area was vast and wide, with little chance of rescue)

the reverse problem also existed during the British "norway campaign" when they sent large numbers of ground troops there (which turned into a disaster). english fighters tried to provide air cover (sent from Britain) but were short on fuel and could only stay over their troops for brief periods of time. german pilots had the luxury of nearby ground bases and so would dominate the skies (the opposite of BoB in southern england)

what kind of stratigic targets were in North England or Scotland?
