Why you sent Trondheim invasion force to Lillehammer instead of attacking Narvik?

I was doing some replaying so also got a major victory at Norway

I deployed my veteran tanks on the landing point at north, my green tanks on the landing port near Stravenger/Bergen and my foot troops in Oslo, also i upgrade 2 of my light infantry divisions to paratroopers.

Green tanks quickly captured their objetives in the peninsula and jointed infantry assaulting Oslo. They performed well but too slow due bad weather so the battle for them was over in the town behind Lillehammer.

The fleet was ordered to regroup so all unit make full speed to joint with the little flotilla at north. Submarines attacking capital ships and capital ships attacking destroyers resulted in royal navy total defeat.

Auxiliary paratroopers landed northeast of narvik and captured an small town and from there with new antitank auxiliary units attacked narvik. Even when the attack was a total failure, with most of troops killed and the small town lost; it diverted royal navy from bombing landing party at Trondheim and core army paratroops. BTW my core paratroopers jumped on the town between Narvik and Trondheim, where the forest result in a narrow pass for tanks and motoricied units.

Veteran tanks moved sneakly, most of time in rought terrain inland and attacked Trondheim capturing airfield in first turn assaulting. The following 3 turns where a pain, royal airforce still got the carrier and the Narvik airfield so they stayed until auxiliary troops put Narvik in risk. Also a light cruiser stayed behind main navy force bombing my tanks from the sea. Well, nightmare was over when auxliary troops began to die. Also the assault of the core partroopers give to my expereinced tanks an speedway to Narvik once they get refited.

Air battle was easy, i dont build bombers until Low Countries so with 4 fighters it was easy to defeat Norway´s air force near Oslo and british when the antiair near Trondheim was killed. Why so many fighters? Its simple, i dont tolerate to dont have air control (play the laters campaings and you will known why they called flying fortress), and for de-entrench enemy units its the same. Anyway, a friend of mine prefers to build the stukas first so later in the game, when they are at full experience, he can bomb air defences and get few loses killing anti-air with tactical bombers. Or even, i saw stukas(tactical bomber surname) killing a mig-3
