Overview:

In early May, the defenses in central Norway, much like the snow on the ground, were reduced to minor patches. In the district of Röros, a handful of soldiers struggled to keep communications with Sweden open. To secure this, they needed to ensure that the Germans would not be able to cross the River Glåma. While organizing local hunters to bolster their forces, the Norwegians received unexpected aid. Led by Tage Holmqvist, a band of Swedish veterans from the Winter War appeared, ready and willing to fight. This band and some of Norwegians, were ordered to defend Os. Soon, German forces approached across the broken terrain.

2025-04-07(D) Jobbo Fett vs Rob W. German winAn alright scenario where both attacker and defender have to make difficult decisions, and where covering for losses can mean the difference between victory and difficulty. This scenario is entirely ruined by the Germans receiving the tank if you engage in using Sleaze Freeze.
2024-03-08(A) Richard Webb vs Bill Finlayson German winGreat little scenario. Played in the mini tournament at Heroes. Germans got the tank which helps a lot, and the Bicycle group ( bikes less useful). Managed to scrape a win in the last turn. A good little scenario- nice and simple, which is all my brain can cope with
2023-11-23(A) Todd Cox vs Norwegian/Swedish winGermans stuck one hex too far away. Started blasting into a melee hex trying to clear it out. Would advance enough units into a final hex, just one hex short of winning though.
2023-06-23(A) Shane Pask vs German winI set up to the west and the first reinforcements (group 3) joined them. Prep broke the Swedish MMG squad and ELRed their leader but the Norwegians killed the mortar crew (CR on 1MC). Advancing fire also CR/ELRed another Swede. After this there was not enough left in the west to halt the massed Germans. Turn 2 reinforcements (group 2) entered east to keep the Norwegians busy. I reclaimed the mortar but they were immediately broken by Norwegian DF. A Berserk squad kept the remaining Norwegians busy long enough for the necessary VP to stroll off the board unobserved on turn 4.
2022-04-15(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
