As soon as 15 April the troops of the 1st Battalion of the Gebirgsjagers, under Major von Schleebrugge advanced towards the Swedish border. They went by train to Hundalen where they met a score of Marines who had grabbed a Norwegian MMG. The Norwegian Major Omdal had succeeded in fleeing from Narvik with about 200 men. He had settled in the railway station of a remote hamlet, lost in a barren landscape of lakes and rocks, covered with a thick layer of snow.
Attacker: German (Kompanie 1, Gebirgsjäger Regt 137 and Ski Scout Platoon and Marine troops)
An all-HIP defense with a 9-2 leader that can absolutely dissolve any advancing Germans on a -4 or -3 shot is just too strong when the Germans have little in the way of cover AND have to face check every nook and cranny. Sangars also being invisible until used makes circumventing buildings also a problem. Despite all my reinforcements, I simply could not survive enough shots to punish the Norwegians and hold ground. Needs work, but I can guarantee the balance for the Germans should be different.
