Overview:

With the sudden Allied landings at Namsos and Andalsnes, the strategic and political importance of Trondheim was brought into sharp focus. Quickly implementing alternative plans, von Falkenhorst ordered the 196th Infantry Division to clear several valleys an isolate that city. On 24 April, lead elements of the German division, advancing along the valley towards Andalsnes, found themselves stymied by fierce resistance in the vicinity of Dombaas from the British 148th Infantry Brigade, which had landed and was moving inland. With ammunition running low and the road behind them threatened by the Norwegian 2nd Division, an urgent message was dispatched for munitions and reinforcements to be pushed forward at all costs. The 196th’s HQ loaded an assortment of commandeered wagons with supplies and sped northward with all available troops. With a roadblock firmly established and troops positioned on the hills flanking the road, the Norwegian commander – advised of the attempted breakthrough – waited confidently.

2020-11-27(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Norwegian winAbout halfway the Germans ran out of enough troops and wagons to fulfill the exit VP points so we called it with a Norwegian win.

2017-12-08(A) Jeff B vs Are Erlandsen German winBig, old school scenario where the Germans have to get 30 VP off a narrow exit area. They have 6 wagons worth 3 points each in addition to their infantry. The terrain they must traverse are the hills of Norway, and the Norwegians which stand in their way are a mix of 1st line and conscript squads. The Norwegians set up fairly heavily in the north/central part of the entry board, which was fine with me as my exit area was closest by taking a southerly approach. Control of the hills is obviously of importance. The Germans have an edge in this department with twice as long of range as the conscripts, and are also equipped with far more SWs. The Germans lost their 9-2 early to a sniper, but they did manage to gain control of the Level 3 and 4 hexes of the initial hill mass by Turn 2. Turn 5 saw them gain control of the second hill as they pressed forward. By Turn 7 they had whittled the Norwegians down to just a couple of HS and the 9-2 and they surrendered at this point. Very fun scenario.
