Overview:

At 0420 the German ship 'Hansestadt Danzig' landed at Copenhagen harbor and a battalion from the 308th Infantry Regiment disembarked. The harbor's garrison troops from the Danish Army, located in the kastellet, were caught unaware and captured and disarmed without any combat. The Citadel was occupied and company elements of the 308th were immediately ordered to the Danish palace of 'Amelienborg', where the king resided. Their mission… 'Advance toward the Palace to put additional pressure on the Danish government'. By now the king's own bodyguard unit, the 'Life Guard' was alarmed and reinforcements were on their way to the palace. Fighting broke out on the arrival of the German infantry.

2025-02-01(A) Jobbo Fett vs RootinPutin Danish winThe Danes get all of the advantages and few, if any, downsides. My Germans did whatever they could to approach the objective, but had limited to no cover until they were fired upon. The lacklustre support weapons for the Germans meant that it was a tough ask to break any Danish troops holed up in +3 stond buildings.

As luck would have it, many losses occurred too early and with no response to show for it and a dwindling timeframe to achieve things with. I could technically have played the long game and waited until the last turn and simply advance into the applicable hexes, but thats silly when viewed against the spirit of the game.

A scenario where the attacker should have a flamethrower or DC to attack with.
