Overview:

The first Allied land operations conducted in April 1940 to stop the German invasion of Norway had been a complete failure. Indeed, the fighting in the valley of the Gudsbransdal River had demonstrated the might and elan of the invaders in the face of the ill-equipped, ill-led, and poorly coordinated Anglo-Norwegian troops. The Allies suffered defeat upon defeat. Nonetheless, at Tretten, on 23 April, they made one last attempt to stem the advance of General Pellenghar's soldiers. The battle quickly turned into a disaster. German infantry, supported by ski troops, tanks and artillery, surrounded the forward positions of the British 148th Brigade. Still, the Norwegians managed to retreat. In Tretten, Colonel German, CO of the 115th Leicesters, tried to assemble his brigade's last units in order to resist.

2025-03-24(A) Jobbo Fett vs Rob W. German winThe Germans aggressively pursued a line of attack into the town while the ski troops used their mobility to head around the southern end of the hill. Some careful defence by Rob meant that the Brits always had concealment and some potentially nasty shots to dole out - but I was mostly bailed out by lucky morale rolls when things got dicey. The Artillery on the hill didn't provide much of anything, despite some great rolls, due to distance + concealment bonus.

First Fire lockouts meant that the ski force was able to swing behind the defenders and secure 4 separate building hexes in a powerful coup that upset the balance of the forces remaining on board. Couple with my 50mm mortar getting a critical hit on a wooden building, and a subsequent original 3... Disaster struck on the stack of 2 squads + the hero, and the game was called there. This scenario feels like it requires the Brits to be aggressive and risk being shelled by the INF gun once or twice. The Blaze can swing things if the wind picks up or gust breaks down a building. Care should be taken so that the Blazes don't take away too many building victory points away from the Germans.
2024-02-01(D) Rob Tyson vs Peter Dunn British winInteresting little scenario. I was pretty convinced early on that I was going to lose as the Brits as I wasn't overly happy with my defending setup, but the German ART and AFV ended up being non entities, with the ART doing no damage, and the AVF being taken out by the ATR.
2023-08-05(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalD German winAs the Germans I completely diced my opponent without question. 118 rolls of the dice with 6.5 average says enough.
