2025-01-25(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett German winThe Germans were able to overwhelm the forward Norwegian defenders, and lock out anyone else. I think if I were to replay this one, the Norwegians would be as close to the edge of the board as possible and simply run away - though perhaps that is also a bad idea.

Regardless, early losses meant that the Norwegians were always on the back foot, and the Artillery pieces couldn't find a consistent pace of hitting and breaking the Germans. The German ATR managed to kill two half-tracks, and the 3rd managed to immobilize itself when I attempted an ESB for 1. Certainly a tougher scenario for the Norwegians.
