Ridgeway -> Riga Sealift (3/4/2011 6:15:22 PM)

I see in one of the new AARs that people have figured out how to capture Riga on Turn 1, port bomb Kuressare, and naval move infantry divisions into Riga.
It is an interesting question whether the Germans could physically have done so IRL in the time alloted, but I have a question as to whether they would have even tried.
Specifically, I think they would have been flying out of range of their air cover (especially around the entrance to the Gulf of Riga), and into an area with siginificant SU air assets. Does the game engine provide for interdiction attacks of naval transport? If not, I think naval transport into forward areas is a little too powerful of a tool. Moreover, at the very least, the German player would be forced to move some fighter bases up into the Baltics and use those fighters to provide CAP for the convoy (which would prevent their use for other missions).
What do you all think?
