While doing some browsing for other stuff I'm working on I stumbled on some articles on the "Weather War" fought during WWII in the arctic cirlce.
These were ongoing campaigns by the Germans to place weather reconnaissance units and the allies to find these units all over the North Atlantic the North Sea and the Northern Ice Sea.
In my view it resembles actions fought in space during the Third Rio de la Plata war; the Central Asian War and the War of German reunification. And off course all those pirate actions; insurgencies and colonial conflicts.
Here's a link to some very inspirational stuff. Including a battalion sized German assault on Spitzbergen using the Sharnhorsts' only firing of her main battery in a surface action. Linky: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-114133.html
Another operation from the beginning of the war which resembles the way I believe (and play) operations in space before the Kafer War started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Iceland
