Norway's forces, simultaneously with the Danish invasion, are marshaled along the border to force the Swedes to deal with the prospect of fighting a two-front war.

A force of four thousand Norwegians is concentrated at Fredrikshald under the command of General Russenstein, both protecting against any Swedish attempts to invade and threatening to retake the formerly Norwegian province of Bohuslän.

Norwegian history records the campaigns in Norway (or in formerly Norwegian provinces) as the Gyldenløve War; it is named after Governor-General Ulrik Frederick Gyldenløve, who as commander-in-chief directs the Norwegian offensive.
