Overview:

As the defenses of southern Norway crumbled before the German onslaught, a group of young Swedish men decided to try their luck and help their neighbors. Led by Conny Andersson, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, the group crossed the border in late April. They met large groups of Norwegian refugees heading for Sweden. Some of the refugees decided to join the Swedes. After crossing a few mountains, the band reached the village of Selbu. It had already been claimed by a German patrol, but as there were no soldiers present, the Scandinavians decided that this was a suitable place to make a stand. The German garrison in the nearby village of Elveran begged to differ.
Attacker: German (Elveran Garrison, Infanterie-Division 196)

2025-04-12(A) Jobbo Fett vs RootinPutin Swedish/Norwegian winA tough battle for the Germans which can easily be decided on a lucky roll by the defender. The middle bridge is the obvious choice to attack, although the stream hexes can be entered and crossed, it provides the defender a lot of time to re-route troops should they need to. The addition of HIP units makes the German victory condition that much harder to achieve.

Needs to have at least one more squad for the Germans, or perhaps slightly fewer defenders...

2024-11-25(A) Paul Works vs Tom Meier Swedish/Norwegian win
2023-06-21(A) Shane Pask vs Swedish/Norwegian winA bit dicey in favour of the Swedes. I got 2 1/2 squads to the K row by turn 5. 1 1/2 were safe. The last squad was concealed but a 4+1 shot generated a 1MC which the leader passed and the squad failed - game over.
