You lost me when you said Russia will invade Scandinavia. That strategy only works against inexperienced Axis players. Against anyone decent, you will have a bunch of valuable troops stuck with no place to retreat. Russia being aggressive in more than one small theater is a guarenteed recipe for failure because of the overwhelming air power of the Axis.
If Germany does not have any fleet then you basically can trade units in scandinavia and win it without many land units left.
Germany also has 7 inf there so you sending 7 inf 2 art and your air does not lose out a lot. But its 16ipcs difference. Thats 5 inf each round you build more then germany, so you make up the losses pretty fast germany doesnt.
Ofcourse it makes no difference if germany has 1 transport and trades the countries but without the transport.
Same with Afrika, 2 tanks 2 mechs can take iraq and then surviving tanks can race into afrika. They are protected almost all the way by UK forces and sure you lose 4 units but each turn you can build 2-5 more.
