    @Bearclaw189 I have a few fighter planes you can buy for this op, provided they fit your standards.

    Well, if this operation is going to commence, then it'd be advised that an allied country sends a temporary expeditionary force to act as a mock enemy, mainly to supplement my small number of divisions.

    What I'm trying to say is Finland's limited coastline differs too greatly from the massive Norwegian coast.
    Really, the only similarity are the cold and coastlines being frozen over during January.
    If this does go through, then whatever experience gained won't transfer over to invading terrain frequent of the Norwegian coasts.

    No, Finland is very dissimilar to Norway, or even Scotland...
    The closets would be Italy, or even the Soviets if you're desperate...

    We are just simulating, Finland is the closest we can get to the real thing. Unless you want Scotland............@MrVaultech

    Nowhere near as much as the Norwegians though. They have narrower terrain and many more islands and mountains along the coast than my country.
