Great point I am very inexperience game wise against an opponet, my question to you U4_Vile if the Germans put some of their naval assests into the North sea first they could possibly intercept those transports, probably a bad move because of the strength of the CW fleet that could be in Scapa Flow. How about interdiction with German airpower in the North sea if they try to flee to England, does not mean the German searches will find the Nordes..
Finally, this is what I was looking for, ideas, strategy, comments any comments negative or positive. Thank you. Remember I am not trying [&:] to win, I am trying to show new players all kind of possibilities, like to invade or not to invade. [That caveat protects me from bad decisions I might make from here on[:D]] What do you think of using the Paras.

You'd need to cover more than the North Sea. The Norwegians can put up to 8 naval units in Narvik and Trondheim, and those guys can escape via the Norweigan sea, Denmark strait, and on down through the Faeroes Gap, dodging your stuff in the North Sea. If you want to interdict them, you'll need to extend your net farther north.
Furthermore, the British and French likely have their own warboats in high boxes of the North Sea to intercept your stuff, so getting out into the Norwegian sea is not a zero risk endeavor. I suppose you could send your submarines, but that lacks a bit of punch, your subs can't really hit all that hard, and the British are likely to send in more guys to escort the fleeing transport.
I would try to align Norway with diplomacy rather than force. If by some chance you are able to take Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad then I might invade just to interdict anymore supplies from going to Murmansk.
Unless you're playing with PoliF (most people don't, in my experience) you cannot align Norway.
