Overview:

In the arctic twilight, the 13th Demi-Brigade of the French Foreign Legion and five Hotchkiss tanks were successfully put ashore by British landing craft northeast of Narvik. One legion battalion and two tanks were sent to retake the supply center of the Norwegian 6th Brigade which had been captured by the Germans. Liberating the weapons depot would provide much-needed arms and ammunition for the Norwegians. . .
Attacker: French (1er Bataillon, 13ème Demi-Brigade de Légion Étrangère / 342ème Compagnie Autonome de Chars de Combat)
Defender: German (Gebirgsjäger Regiment 139)

2024-11-17(A) Don Nordloff vs Don Petros German winFun scenario, but I ran into a buzz saw of 2s, 3s and 4s. Lost my 9-2 on the first turn. I got into the building, but was not able to break a cagey defender.
2024-04-21(A) Jonathan Plott vs Ian Harper French winPlayed at the Bitter Ender ASL Event in Raleigh, NC this past Weekend. One of the best gaming experiences I have ever had! A 'friendly' game (ie, I was out of the tournament) with a person just learning some of the vehicle and ordnance rules, but it was FUN! Overruns, light mortar ROF tears, improbable close combat outcomes...Ian did a great job and held the Legionnaires at arms length for the victory! Hope we play again soon! Great game, Ian!
2022-08-31(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs Tom J French win
2021-06-16(D) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2020-10-05(D) Rob MacGinley vs Joe Marranca French winSlowly the French worked up both flanks and Germans unable to pip them
reos did a desperate dash to the building
