I had a German garrison unit landed in Iceland and occupying the city.
The next turn Britain launched operation Fork and took control of Iceland back [X(].
I didn't invade Denmark via the DE but manually, It was on the same turn that it would have been invaded by the DE (Bad weather prevented me invading sooner).
Is this WAD or a bug?
Surely if German troops have landed operation fork shouldn't just give control of Iceland back to Britain.

Once UK has taken the DE the die is cast. If the unit was there the turn before, the UK wouldn't have gotten the DE. Best way to conquer Iceland is to conquer Denmark manually in autumn 1939. If you do it early enough, when supply recover you can even operate a plane there to prevent the DE.

Just edit the territory event linked to the DE to not allow Iceland to become Allied if there are a minimum number of German units present. Historically, I doubt the British would have hesitated to seize Iceland unless it would have interfered with their ability to support more important operations elsewhere, such as in France or Norway.

The beauty of the game is you can tweak the events and AI responses to give the right amount of historical "feel" or explore an entirely different chain of events.
