What does these nations have in common?

[Lemur]

We must invade Sweden as soon as possible.

We must invade Sweden as soon as possible.

That would be the logical conclussion, wouldn't it?

Monaco is ripe for the taking.

Another way to look at it, places even the British wouldn’t bother with.

When was Norway invaded? The closest I can think of were the Scottish mercenaries who were defeated in ambush by a local peasant militia in 1612. The Scottish mercenaries were on their way to enlist for, wait for it, Sweden.

The claim in the OP is made with the widest possible definition of invasion, and I believe it refers to the actions taking place in WW2 and possibly the Napoleonic war.

I didn't make the list, stole it from a Swedish newspaper who stole it from some book published in the UK... But from the reception of the book, it seems legit and well researched.

With Norway I would guess WW2...

[Rhyfelwyr]

I thought it was the reverse of the list in Kadagar's sig - these are the only countries whose women he has yet to plunder at the ski resort.

In the officer programs, I was taught that an invasion technically is 10+ guys, in uniform, on service, crossing a boarder without being welcomed. I also got taught that the number 10 was based on a normal honor guard for dignitaries.

Anyway, you might find it somewhat humorous that I actually lead the last Swedish invasion of Norway. Many a history book has it down to being some stupid Swedish king, but nah, it was me.

Long story short, I lead a combat group (if I remember it right 2 squads with specialists from 4 squads) in our northern arctic mountain regions, a HELL of a hard simulation btw. Anyway, sneaky bastard as I am, I took a detour to outflank the opposition. However, weather hit us HARD with storm winds and -40 degrees, so we sought shelter digging down in the snow.

I was gently awakened by one of my troopers rappidly poking me with his gun, informing me someone would like to have a word. Dug my way out to find my 4 lookouts playing the happy trigger game with Jegerkompaniet guys.

The boarders up there are rather sketchy at best, but we had obviously crossed it. They had been out on a simultaneous training thingy, and had observed us.

We all just had a laugh though, and exchanged rations and souvenirs :)

STILL, I am technically responsible for having invaded Norway :)

My platoon also invaded Sweden.

Old news, happens every year. Mostly because of excercises between Bardu and Finnmark.

And yes, the widest possible definition of invasion is the uninvited border crossing of a military ground unit, that was what I was referring to.
