I stayed in the fjord leading to Narvik from 4/9/40 through 4/14/40, but no British warships appeared - only German ones. Despite this, I kept getting radio messages about the results of the battles, the arrival of the Warspite, etc.
What is simulated in TWOS for the the invasion of Norway? Where could I run into the British taskforces?
Thanks
It's been quite a long time since I had this mission in TWoS. I only remember that I found the task force in the fjord leading to Narvik.
But it took me several tries to find the Warspite with the task force.

Really funny but I am right into this mission as well. You may have noticed a post from me about a strange merchant name in the forum from yesterday.
On my side it is the 29 March and I already have the mission.
First I went toward Narvik and I met 2 British merchants. They are now deep under water, one of them had a strange name, 4 capital letters followed by the _CS for the variant coastal shipping. I couldn't find it in the recognition manual.
Then I continued up to Narvik shipyard. The only other trafic I met was fishing boats and 1 single Norvegian destroyer patrolling around Narvik itself.
In the shipyard only Norvegian vessels so I went back to the blue circle area.
On my way back I spotted 2 German destroyers and a German pocket Battleship running fast speed toward Narvik.
Now 2 days after I am waiting at the far right side of the blue circle waiting for any British ship passing by. It is the 1st of April and still waiting.
I know that the invasion is starting the 9th but normally you should be able to finish the first part of the mission (sinking 5 ships) before this date.
Once the invasion has started I read that you can sink Norvegian ships as they are considered hostile.
For the British Task force, it seems a bit random I think I will keep you updated once I reach the fatidic date of 9th April.
Please keep this post updated too, I am interested as how you handle the mission with the latest version of TWoS, as all other posts are old.

for the British task force it is not random. They come all time.

Sunk my 3rd British ship, but the German task force is patrolling and I see them pasing by from time to time. I just hope they won't take kills from me.
The British Task force will always come yes, I meant their position is a bit random, but probably scripted that they will always come toward you if you stick to the path to Narvik.
