Background
----------------
Iceland42: Operation Iceberg
With the entrance of America into the war in 1941, Germany's position to attack Atlantic sea convoys has been delt a severe blow. To bolster our presence in the area, High Command has ordered you to occupy the island of Iceland in order to provide a base for U-boats and aircraft operating in the North Atlantic.
Your starting point will be the Faroes islands, taken
a week earlier during nightime landings, and held by the Luftwaffe
in the face of a determined Royal Navy counterattack. Despite best
efforts to keep the upcoming landings a secret, British code-breakers
have intercepted several of our
naval communications which have allowed a joint defense force
of British and Norwegian troops, along with Icelandic militia units, to
begin "digging in" in anticipation of the landings. With 5 full days
to prepare, defenses on the island have been improved significantly.
Russia, seeing the possibility of conflict with Germany drawing near, has sent a clandestine force to the island to further bolster it's defenses, realizing that any future aid it might receive from the Allies would be shipped through the North Atlantic.
The United States, recognizing the threat to it's own merchant
marine, has sent a force to support the island; but as of now it
is believed to still be enroute.
Victory Conditions
------------------------
Human player: German side.
Axis victory: Take all objectives
PBEM: .............
AG version only works in PBEM . Some problems with AI must be solved
before you can play against computer
Remarks
------------
Tactics:
It is of vital imporance that your paratroopers secure an airfield
as soon as possible, as the only Axis airfield is on Faroes Island, quite
some distance away! Weather may be bad, so plan accordingly! Failure
to do so could be decisive!
Watch for the American reinforcements,
they could cause problems for those caught unprepared.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy the scenario!
