Overview:

On 24 May, faced with the deteriorating situation in France, the Allies decided to evacuate Norway. However, before the evacuation, the Anglo-French commanders wanted to retake Narvik. For that operation, the main attack would come from the north and be conducted by Lt.-Col. Magrin-Vernerrey's 13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion. The unit was landed on Orneset Beach shortly before midnight on 28 May, achieving total surprise, overwhelming initial German resistance. The Franco-Norwegian second wave, however, landed under enemy gunfire. This delayed until 0430 the deployment of the detachment ordered to take Hill 457. The Legionnaires were to cover the attack by their allies. A company of Gebirgsjager launched a violent counterattack against the 2nd Company of the 13th Demi Brigade.

2022-08-15(A) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German winGerman won by a CVP cap. My HMG went on a rate tear early and tore apart the Norwegians. The French also had a bad time of it and the Arty was delayed a turn by a red chit. That said, at the end, it was much closer than we both thought.
2022-05-15(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Allied (French / Norwegian) winMy Germans failed to do anything on Turn 1 - no rate on the Mortar and only a couple breaks achieved. The French would lose their positions on Hill S7. The French Sniper would do a lot of damage to the Germans as did my dice, which hurt me badly. Then the French OBA landed right on my last force on Hill 740 and that was it and a French win.
