Ok, it was some errors in Scandinavia according to maps you provided
Most flagrant i found is mess between towns of Lycksele and Gallivare. Non-existing railroad west from Gallivare is also downgraded to road.
Fixed.
Also, there is ongoing fix of "knowledge bias" of South Baltic ports - from USSR to Germany (inclusive). Many are removed, especially insane number of ports in Leningrad.
I am going to post intermediate super-scenario fix after i will finish the European atlantic coast (may be within next week)

please be careful with the removal of ports. Big City - a large port and shipyard. A large number of port cells associated with the need to model construction support ships. The same applies to the German ports!

I agree with Igor ...
Due to the concept shipbuilding large number of ports necessary ....

[trurle]

Yes, i know.
But for now amount of ports in USSR and Germany RELATIVE to rest of world is exaggerated.

Example:
Port of Kobe, Japan (26km piers) - 2 port cells in SOE2
Port of Leningrad, USSR (31km piers) - 9 port cells in SOE2
Therefore, i left 3 port cells for Leningrad.

There no errors in ports though; just USSR/Germany have displayed even very small port facilities.
If the rest of world will be displayed with same details, around ~6000 ports around world must be created

A bit confusing situation on Rhodes island.
In original scenario it set "captured by Italians from Greeks", but in realty Italians captured it from Turks in 1912.
Ethnicity of islanders is Greek though..but i do not know their historical mindset.
Should we set "native Italian" or may be "captured by Italians from Turks" instead?
Any suggestions?

IT...........

Also clearing mess in Syria;
in scenario, it assigned to "Free French", but in realty on 22nd June, 1941 it was a scene of battle between Vichy's French and British.
Though the position of Vichy was dire at the moment..they capitulated 6th of July, 1941.
Set Vichy`s forces at sea (3 destroyers+3 submarines+1 escort) at Beirut according to history;
Land/air forces are set tentatively with estimated attrition 50% at middle of lost (historically) campaign.
