[JDR Dragoon]

You can see that between Jutland and Fyn island there isn't very much distance, ok, one hexagon bridge would do it perfectly.

Indeed. Coincidentally we now know that WAPA planned to take the island on the fly using forces (a Motorized Rifle division I seem to recall) from the army driving north into Jutland.

But, how would you invade Denmark's main island? Sjaeland? it would require an amphibious assault because obviously you can't invade it from Jutland.

Indeed! Here is the map from a polish 1954 staff exercise. Tell me what you see:

Furthermore, once that you have conquered the main island, the troops allocated to that task would have to remain there because there is no way to get them out of there!!

Well, the same essentially goes for any NATO units already presents or committed later through strategy options. Besides the invasion itself would happen between D+3-5 and the WAPA estimates was, that it would take about 6 days to secure the greater Zealand area with outlying islands (but that timeframe presumed the heavy use of nukes against the defender, so we might presume that it will take somewhat longer without quite so many nasty WMDs to chuck around). A 161 turn game of DF85 is 23 days long so the units committed against the danish islands would likely not be usable against anything else within the timeframe of a full game of DF85
