Couple of comments.

One of the strengths of WiF is the "what if". There are not a lot of historical "chains" imposed. Just because the Germans invaded Norway in the real war does not mean it should be done every time or most every time in WiF.

Secondly, I don't think you will see any variation of MWiF like this from WiF for a very long, long time, if ever. The case to make Norway more attractive is either going to have to be addressed as house rules between players or the topic needs to be brought up to Harry.
I agree 100% although its still somewhat unfortunate. The problem isn't that Norway isn't invaded all the time, its just that it seems its almost never invaded and when it is its usually part of some oddball strategy of either the CW or the Axis.

I remember my first WIF game, I was playing the Germans and being something of a WWII strategy buff I began to analyze the Norway situation... and I just couldn't come up with a reason to do it. In other games the value of interferring with Murmansk lend-lease and the value of basing Naval and Air units out of Bergen makes it somewhat viable (some games go overboard and almost make it a must do).

I would be happy if current games saw an invasion of Norway 1 time in 10, it seems more like 1 in 50 by good players these days... why 1 in 10.. just a gut feeling or WAG!
