Ah, but in the future the Channel Islands are no longer part of a garrison zone. The islands are very useful for the Allies if they invade in the Britany or Normandy areas. With the Channel Islands gone, it is possible to invade near Cherbourg and cut it off fairly easily - the landing on the western edge is not possible with the Islands in Axis hands due to the interdiction values of the ports. The Islands are not worth invading for the Allies - it costs too many resources in aircraft, men, and time to do so. However, if all I have to do is commit two brigades, two amphibs, and about three turns for a walk on invasion of non-garrisoned islands in Feb/Mar 44 then it is definitely worth it to me.
