Well let me have another go at this:
Norway
Allegience: Allied
Specialty: Weather Immunity - Natural weather hardening added to cold weather training grants Norweigian troops 5% speed and range
Specific Unit: Norweigian Ranger - Nature hardened and specially trained, Norweigian Rangers sacrifice the amphibious nature of the Seals for more damage vs vehicles and the ability to deploy Blizzard Tank esque ice beam rifles.
Background: With the thread of Soviet northern sub attacks, the Allies conscripted the Norweigian armed forces into their alliance. Their special weather training makes them perfect for deep penetration special operations.
First of all let me say that this is my first post ever in this forum. I stumbeled over it while looking for RA2 and YR mods since I just reinstalled it.
Out of all the ones I tried, three of them stuck with me. Eagle Red, MooMans Rules and Mental Omega (which I hold highest)
So if you're planning a new one, allow me to squeal with joy like a preteen schoolgirl at a backstreet boys concert.
Now, to the topic of adding Norway to your list over fighting nations.
Sounds nice, but I would change it a little bit.
Norway also has a strong naval force. Needed due to the fact that the ENTIRE western part of Norway borders to the north sea.
This is why I think, in addiotion to the Norwegian Ranger, we should have one additios to naval units.
Perhaps something in the lines of an MTB. And perhaps even a defensive structure for water to sin those pesky german, err, RUSSIAN ships invading our fjords:P
Another thing to consider if you add a Norwegian side (which I would gladly pleasure you in unspeakable ways for if you did) is the fact that Norway in general is not an attacking nation during war.
During WWII the Norwegian resistance was wiped out within a short timespan and we used saboteur tactics in stead. Sabotage is also one of the main things norwegian special forces are trained in to this day.
So here is MY suggestion for "Team Norway"
Norway
Allegience: Allied (duuuh
)Speciality: All infantry units, with the exceptions of dogs and engineers, are cloaked until opening fire. (this will be in line with the norwegian ambus and hit-and-run tactics)
Spesific Unit: The allready mentioned Norwegian Ranger. But I would love to see it called Norwegian Hunter or just flat out "Jeger" (norwegian word for hunter, also connected to this: http://en.wikipedia....s_Jegerkommando )
Also I like my suggestion of a small boost to naval units and the making of a special MTB unit. The MTB will mostly be a submarine-hunter. It should be fast and have a higher rof then the destroyer and can compensate this by having less armor then the Destroyer.
Some sort of naval defence structure would be awesome, but I'm not gonna beg you for it
Background: Norway shares border with the soviets in the far north and this border is beeing watched diligently.
Not long ago the Norwegians uncovered vast amounts of oil in the north sea and started pumping it up, vastly boosting the countries economy while at the same time strengthening Norways postition in the world.
Fearing that the scourge of communism would soon flood over the border in an attempt to take over the land and the vast oilreserves, the Norwegians called to the Allied nations in hope of a mutual agreement concerninc economy and protection from the soviets.
Kinda long for a "first post ever" but I would LOVE to see Norway added to a mod like this
