Overview:

After landing at Namsos, the British goal was to make contact with the Norwegians at Verdalsöra where a strategic bridge crossed the Inna River. On the morning of 21 April, a German destroyer landed a company of Gebirgsjagers on the shore north of Verdalsöra while other elements coming from Trondheim attacked along the road. . .

2023-05-13(D) Craig Renier vs Tim Osborne Norwegian / British winThe Germans led off with smoke from the mortar on 2 of 3 Allied positions covering the bridge. Unfortunately, the 3rd position was able to hold back the German assault across the bridge. OBA was ineffective due to tough LOS with the radio setup. In the meantime, the German force entering from the North were stymied by fire lanes and a couple well placed low rolls. The Germans were able to eventually cross the bridge in force, but the delay was substantial. The allies whittled down the attacking force eventually gaining 12 CVP at the end of Turn 5.

2023-03-25(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalD German winGermans dropped OBA Smoke on defender side of the bridge on Turn 2 which greatly facilitated the mad dash to swarm the defenders who had no LOS (with bonus Drifting Smoke). Germans had all the 20 needed CVP by Turn 5 and the British could only choke out 10 of the needed 12 CVP by the end of last turn.
2022-04-24(A) Andrew Luden vs Rick Luden German winSome rough dice on the British side led to an absolute landslide of a victory for the Germans.
