Norway

My experience is that as soon as the German turn ends with them controlling
all the Norwegian ports, Norway surrenders, the 3-4 playing tag with the
polar bears disappears and the rail net (ad all other hexes) goes to
Germany.

It is of course possible to do this in one turn with the 5 TRANS and the
Baltic shipping point. I like to take Denmark first, as that puts another
Norwegian port under air cover. Send a division out, have it flip or not
flip due to the high seas intervention. If it doesn't flip, send it out
beyond air cover and see if it does or does not flip. Units that flip go to
a port under air cover. A unit that doesn't flip goes on to Narvik. From a
practical stand point, if the German is putting a unit in every port in one
turn, then it is very reasonable to assume there will be a unit in the port.
This in turn means that for all practical purposes, the allies aren't going
to counter invade Norway. Even a 1-5 isn't going to be driven off that early
in the war.

Shipping a RR into Oslo will repair the rail to supply the units in the far
flung ports. Narvik gets supplies through Sweden.
