This belongs in media really, but it may have some relevant ultra modern gaming options Norwegian TV is to air a 10 episode series in October, entitled Occupied. In the show,Russia partly occupies Norway to resume the oil industry following a secret deal with the European Union. It tells the story of the invasion after radical environmentalists seize power and freeze Norway's oil and gas industry. Needless to say Moscow is furious, but from a what if wargames perspective it sounds interesting. |

In France we already have seen the first 10 episodes thanks ARTE. Realy I enjoyed it! I recommend it. At first Russia has no problem with it but the series came out at the time of the Crimea affair and that was another story then! Robert |

Seems like they'd be happy if that were to occur, since it knocks out one of their competitors in the oil market. I get that Moscow was furious about the way they are being portrayed in the show. Perhaps if they didn't invade and occupy other countries illegally, they'd receive better treatment in the press, and media. |

It's on Netflix here in New Zealand, worth a watch. |

I have to second AUXILIAPAL and Single Malt. Saw it on TV and Santa brought it to me on DVD. @Geoff: It doesn't really belong to here but did you receive my e-mails? Cheers, Benjamin |

Probably miffed that someone has infringed on their IP :) |

Saw it on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will there be a 2nd season? |

Thanks for the promo, I've added this to my Netflix stream. Prior to this, all I've seen of Norwegian programming has been Lillyhammer! |

I was wondering if I should watch this. I'm partial to the "Russians seize other people's oil assets" genre (apparently that's a genre) since the Rock Hudson/David Soul miniseries "World War III" and "Red Storm Rising". |

It's a rather interesting take on the EU too, sitting back and letting Russia do the dirty work. |
