The Germans where advancing quickly north
in eastern Norway, while the Norwegians where fighting a retreat,
ambushing the German advance many times. When the Germans reached Aasta
in April 20, they encountered heavy fire from the woods behind a river.
This was going to be the longest battle fought in Oesterdalen, lasting
18 hours. The Germans
withdrew from the ambush and reorganized to attack during the night, but
the attack was repulsed by the Norwegian snipers hiding in the woods. In
the morning both the Germans received artillery support, and the lines
where bombed all morning. In the afternoon the Germans where ready to
cut through the tired Norwegian defense. . . . . .Victory Conditions:
