Overview:

With the disastrous situation around Dunkerque entering its final stages, the Allied High Command decided that the operation around Narvik would have to be halted, though the city itself was taken in order to cover the evacuation and to ensure complete destruction of the port. The final assault would be carried out by two battalions of the French Foreign Legion supported by two tanks, and one battalion of Norwegian troops landing just north of Narvik. At the same time a Polish unit would launch an attack from the south in an effort to completely cut off the German troops in Narvik.

2021-01-05(D) Richard Jenulis vs Bruce Billet Norwegian / French winThe Germans first Prep Fire shot was a 12 the malfunctioned the HMG. The French first roll was a 2 with the MTR that eliminated the AT Gun crew and broke the 9-2 and HMG squad. The Germans just didn't have any fight in them this day.
2020-06-07(A) Andy Beaton vs Richard Hooks Norwegian / French winFrench crept up to edge of the woods and started blasting the Germans off the ridge. Norwegians kept the Germans on the left flank from breaking out to reinforce the ridge. Casualties were taken but numbers were in my favour. The ridge was taken and the Germans conceded before the tanks even arrived.
2020-05-18(A) Stephen dedier vs patterson, gene German winTo say this was an ass kicking would not do it justice.
Having the Germans get the first move really hinders the allies since the German's have some vast firepower, the high ground and 3x negative leaders. It doesn't fit well with my bold attacking style.
It didn't bode well that one the first turn I managed a sneaky LOS to a moving unit getting a K/2 but the ensuing sniper took out my 9-2 buried in a stack in the woods. I should have realized it was not my game then.
Trying to get shots on the HMG with the 9-2 I managed 2 times to get a 2MC with no effect then the Germans started hammering my guys. The German meatball thrower twice rolled snakes on a 2 down 1 shot eliminated squads. The HMG repeatedly getting K/ to knock me down.
I finally managed an attack after breaking both the HMG&leader and the mortar. I had a 6-1 CC that I rolled an 11 on …. keeping me in melee rather than having squads dominating the high ground.
I really can't say that anything went well on this one. I think the allied play has to play with significant caution to try and hold concealment until you can get shots on the high ground. Even that won't work if the HMG is retaining rate and rolling low.
2019-04-15(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Holland, Donald German win
2018-12-06(A) Shane Pask vs German winFinished 1 turn early. Only managed 12 VP (target 15) - all Norwegian with both their NCOs. Germans finished the way they started with snake eyes. First time they wiped out an entire French platoon and leader (all four rolled equal for random selection). The last turn they eliminated the final French hope when the KIA selected the leader. The final nail was struck when the same turn the last hopeless sprint by the French was cut off with a K/2 killing the other French leader.
