Overview:

During the early stages of the German invasion of Norway, two companies of paratroopers that had landed at Fornebu Airport three hours earlier than planned, loaded on buses with hopes of raiding the Norwegian army headquarters at Hamar and capture King Haakon. But a rag-tag group of reservists answering church bells and volunteers from a local rifle club was organized to block the road seventy miles north of the capital. They felled trees and tipped wagons on the main road and an unpaved bypass not a moment too soon. . .

2020-11-04(D) Jason Nichols vs Rob MacGinley Norwegian winGermans pushed hard down the centre and the Norwegians crumbled, failing MC and disrupting. Norwegian 9-2 leader was killed early and it was a scramble to fall back past the roadblock. Germans cleared the roadblock and moved busses up ready for running the Gauntlet. Norwegian 7-0 leader captured a bus on turn 8 and Germans had last movement phase to exit. Norwegians had three broken squads in position to intercept, if they rallied. Only one squad rallied (6 morale is a bummer) but in German MPh managed a 4 down 2 shot on the German 9-2 leader, squad and half-squad. The DR of 3 sealed the game as it killed the half-squad and broke the leader and squad. Germans then weren't able to exit the required 18 VP. An exciting end to the game.
2020-06-27(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Norwegian win
2020-06-27(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Norwegian winI sent my Germans up the middle and tried to bulldoze my way to the roadblocks, Dan has been tough to break lately and didn't go down quickly, which tied me up for two turns of close in fighting which benefitted the Norwegians. Meanwhile a broken Norwegian squad would snake an MC and then go berserk and take down to of my flanking half-squads. This was so disheartening that I was pretty done from that point on and conceded at the end of German phase Turn 8 as I didn't have the strength to exit enough points past the remaining Norwegian gauntlet. I've lost this scenario twice as the Germans and will not play it ever again.
