How the heck am I supposed to get some troops up to Murmansk
Historically we know that the Germans didn't have the ability to supply any more formations in northern Finland, and the Finn government didn't want a stronger German presence anyway. So rather than allowing the player free reign in moving a large amount of units to Finland (putting Elmer at a disadvantage), we went with what was historically available. Here is what you get in Finland as reinforcements:
Turn 6 - 163rd Inf Div
Turn 25 - 6th Gebirgs Div
turn 39 - a Theater Option to convert the 99th Lt/Jg in AGS to the 7th Gebirgs (which appears in Finland 25 turns later.
Turn 110 - 210th Fortress Div
I think that is it.
why the devil is there a ID in and northeast of Narvik which "activates" on turn 500
The 214th German Inf Div is the Narvik garrison. Obviously if it is not in static mode, the player will use it. If the Soviets attack and occupy Narvik, the 214th will automatically withdraw to Germany. As it cannot be activated by the player, it serves its historical use.
Hopefully that all makes sense, Cheers!
