remember, these scenarios are presented for fun only and as a
thank you to the readers of my blog.
Design note - this scenario is a hypothetical imagining of the a German
invasion of Iceland in 1941 during the time that US Marines were
stationed on the island. I have always wanted to see a scenario pitting
US Marines vs. SS. Of course this particular scenario uses early war
Marines and SS, which is a toned down version of what I could imagine
with 1945 Marines going toe to toe with Leibstandarte or Wiking. Perhaps
we'll imagine such a scenario at a later date.
I selected two BFP maps as they best represented the barren landscape of the plateau near Keflavik. Having been to Iceland in 1985, I can confirm that trees are a rarity on the Island. It's certainly been fun researching the involvement of US forces in Iceland.
