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. . .

2025-03-27	(A) Seumas Hoskins	vs	Dean		French win	The French made a concentrated push along the side with the factory, arriving to the wall line without incident. The opening attacks broke a platoon's worth of French troops, but the MMD with leader went berserk in front of several French. Low rolls on the next few attacks led to KIAs on the German squads on the line. With so few forces left so early, Germans conceded.

2023-11-14	(A) Andreas R	vs	Jenny	A	German win
2023-10-12	(A) Shane Pask	vs			French win	The German MMG was poorly placed for the French line of attack but the HS hidden to the rear of the armoury almost saved the day. Mopping up found it turn 7 but it stayed concealed and did not attack in CC and lasted into turn 8 before succumbing to a whole platoon. Germans had 2 squads outside the armoury on turn 8 but neither could make it inside.
2023-07-28	(A) Craig Renier	vs	Jim Vasilou		German win	The French advanced in force on the German right flank with a small contingent on the left. The small contingent was broken and CR'd from the German MMG. The main force made slow but steady progress for two turns. German defenders on the right revealed themselves and broke 3 French squads which did not rally for 3 full turns. Two other French squads under the 9-2 leader broke and did not rally for 3 full turns. With a severely weakened force, the French pressed as hard as possible towards the victory building. The German reinforcements entered on the East side and moved directly to the victory building. There was a moment when it looked like the French could prevail. They were able to push into the building, helped by two fanatic MMCs and one Hero. However, they were tied up in CC for too long. In the end, the French could not muster enough strength to drive the Germans out of the building.
