Question about Norway

Hi,

What happens if the Brits intervene in Norway then Oslo falls so Norway surrenders? Will the Brit troops in Norway surrender also?

When Norway falls what hexes will the Brits control if their troops don't surrender?

Thanks

The Brits control the hexes they own.

If Norway surrenders the Brits the need to transport back to the UK. And they need a port in Norway to board their ships.

So when you say the hexes they own - do you mean just the hexes they are actually in? Or hexes adjacent to them also where they have a ZOC? Or also hexes they have walked through? If I land Brits at Bergen and walk them in a couple hexes then Oslo falls - I guess they can still trace supply through the port at Bergen or do they have to walk back and pass next to the port in order to get control of it?

Thanks

They would control all hexes that they have traversed. So for example, they entered Norway through Bergen and traversed a few hexes to the east. Bergen and those few hexes would be UK controlled and Bergen would provide them supply at level 3.

Would have to check to be 100% sure, but unless they traversed axis controlled hexes, they would only control the hexes the physicially occupy on the turn of surrender. (IIRC I once had the BEF running west to form a "Breton redoubt" when France surrendered, and the only hexes under BEF control were the hexes they occupied, while those they had traversed along their way were axis controlled).
