Scandinavian testers needed

Some notes on Norway:



The Norwegian defence was hinged on the so called "Lyngen Position" a narrow piece of land along the Lyngenfjord where defensivie positions originally had been built by the Germans during WWII. It was considered near impossible for the Soviets to force their way through and that they would likely try to outflank Lyngen - the most likely being through amphibous landings.
Going through Sweden and Finland was deemed highly unlikely because of the expected resistance from Swedish and Finnish forces and the severe limitations of terrain and lack of infrastructure.

The Finnmark region of north Norway, however, was considered impossible to defend and was to be more or less given up. Norway had about 5000 troops allocated to this region and some 30 000 near Lyngen. Those troops in the Finnmark region were to offer maximum resistance but it was expected to last for hours, in the best case for a few days, before the Soviets reached Lyngen. All roads between the Soviet border and Lyngen were to be destroyed. Every house, barn, shack were to be burned when the civilian population was evacuated. The Norwegians even wanted to get rid of the reindeer herds (to deny the Russians this possible food source) from the region although this was hard to do in practice.

Norway were also to be reinforced by various NATO forces, USMC, AMF Land, Canadian CAST Brigade, but none of these units seem to have been meant to fight in Finnmark.

This is just a FYI. Don't let it get in the way of a funky scneario.
