Overview:

In the arctic twilight, the 13th Demi-Brigade of the French Foreign Legion and five Hotchkiss tanks were successfully put ashore by British landing craft northeast of Narvik. One legion battalion and two tanks were sent to retake the supply center of the Norwegian 6th Brigade which had been captured by the Germans. Liberating the weapons depot would provide much-needed arms and ammunition for the Norwegians. . .

2020-03-15	(A) O Ramaille	vs		German win	The French began well with a critical hit from the mortar that wipe out a squad in a building. The French approach was quite well performed with the armor to prevent the German reinforcements to reach the weapons depot. However, the German reinforcements managed to get into the building and won several close combats with a battle hardened leader. The French lost more than half of their forces and were unable to wipe out the Germand defenders from the building. A German victory.
2020-03-07	(D) David Ramsey	vs	Martin Vicca	French win	Held out as long as possible but a critical hit from the mortar destroyed my hopes..
2020-03-07	(D) Ian Morris	vs	Simon	French win	Couldn’t land a shot on him until late in the game. Lost my last MMC to a FPF shot against the three squads coming to cc him.
2020-02-28	(A) Kevin Duval	vs	Dwayne Duval	French win	Used German balance.
2018-09-05	(D) Paolo Cariolato	vs	Federico Corso	German win	Went down to the last CC, there were prisoners so it was sequential. With my roll 8 or less he would have needed a 3 to win. With a 9 or more 5 was enough. I rolled a 9 and he rolled a 5. That said the scenario is old and it shows, too long, nothing for the defence except skulk for the first three turns. Then it's defending a single building.
