Overview:

The attack on Narvik finally commenced with a thunderous naval barrage and an assault on the town. Unbeknownst to the Allies, though, the town had been largely evacuated as a result of the abortive attack of 26 April. Otherwise the pincer movement was well planned to trap the Germans in the town, allowing the Allies a chance to withdraw from Narvik and have a badly-needed victory to show for it. The beachhead was largely covered by the crews of German naval destroyers which littered the bottom of Rombaksfjord. When the shelling stopped, fifty dazed survivors emerged and immediately stumbled upon advancing elements of the French Foreign Legion.

2022-03-25(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval German winTough scenario for the French to win..... A bit of a dog in my opinion.
2022-02-23(D) JP Laurio vs Ron German winFrench were having a difficult time but rolled several Berserkers which made the end interesting.
2020-03-18(A) Shane Pask vs French winOn setup I did not realise how hard it was to cross the creek. I ended up crossing on the extreme East edge and over the central bridge right under the pillbox - twilight helped. In the end, French won on turn 5 after a couple of critical hits on the pillbox with the small INF and the sniper breaking the last German foxhole occupant on the east flank to let the French flood in.
