Overview:

By the end of May 1940, the catastrophic unfolding of the battle for France caused the Allies to evacuate Norway. Nevertheless, it was decided to take Narvik in order to close the campaign on a victory and lessen the earlier humiliations. On the 28th, after an artillery barrage, a company of the 2nd Battalion of the Podhalansha Light Infantry and a pair of H-39s attacked along the coastal road to secure the town of Ankenes and thus control the Beisfjord south of Narvik.

2021-04-25(A) Gus Ingenluyff vs French winExcellent scenario. French won by just keeping within the CVP cap. It could have easily gone either way.
2021-03-04(A) Jason Nichols vs Rob MacGinley German winGermans managed to delay the French long enough to prevent the capture of more than three buildings and the 9-2 leader with a squad and LMG on the hill inflicted a lot of casualties on the French. A lucky shot with an ATR immobilised a tank. The German ATG malfunctioned on its first shot and was permanently disabled when repair was attempted. Germans reached the 19 CVP cap when the 9-2 superman KIA'd a squad and leader with snakes in the German Prep on Turn 6.
2021-03-03(D) X von Marwitz vs Lars-Peder Jensen German winAn old classic, this scenario depicts an early war West Front action in muddy terrain. It has been recently republished as ASL238 in Croix de Guerre 2nd edition (without modification from the original design).

A full AAR of my game as the attacking French can be found at GameSquad forum in the following thread:

I had captured 14 of 15 building locations along with his ATG, his 9-2 and some other units and equipment, the sole German survivors being a 8-1/468. The game came down to the last CCPh and the last DR in which my opponent needed a 6 or less to bust my CVP cap. He conveniently rolled Snakes...
2021-02-23(D) Andrew Young vs Robert Oler German winRobert had a great defense as the Germans. He saw the places where he needed to be on each turn. His sniper screwed me a ton, haha. It felt tough as the French for me with the mud and the "tight" avenue to the buildings needed. I'd play it again.
2019-09-30(D) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall German winI think the French need some luck to win this scenario. The French must attack through mostly open ground and mud, while the Germans start concealed and mostly in wooden buildings. I lost both tanks, one to the ATG and the other to CC, which contributed to losing on turn five by hitting the CVP cap.
2016-10-08(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wilson German winOctobear 2016
2012-10-27(A) Michael Focht vs Jason Burnette German win
2012-02-10(D) Andy Beaton vs Tom West German winSlowly ground down the Germans, but took too many losses, finished by a tank killed with snakeeyes.
Fun scenario.
2010-01-23(D) John Van Natta vs Brandon M. French winThe Germans misread the victory conditions but still managed to make a close game of it. The German MMG went on two ROF tears and wiped out two stacks of French. The battle went down to wire with the French retaking the last building hex in the final turn.
2007-03-07(D) Bill Brodie vs Simon Spinetti German winClose game, but the French melted away on the last turn.
2001-10-27(D) Paul Legg vs David Murray German winIntensive Fire 2001
2001-06-28(A) Fred Ingram vs Dave McLee French win
2001-06-23(A) Fred Ingram vs Rich Summers German win
