Overview:

Near Trogstad, the German detachment Gutsche attacked the village of South Hov to clear any roadblock and secure the area. So easily were the Germans overwhelming strongpoints, Captain Gutsche made a bet with his men that they would not meet any strong resistance in Norway. He was unaware that Major Orre defended the village, deploying his company to vigorously fight the invaders.

2024-01-25(A) fabrizio da pra vs Giasone De Bono German winWe bid 9 hexes and this was probably too low, we rolled to see who took the German and I won.
Giasone played better than me, I made multiple mistakes, but we both agree that 9 building hexes is too easy for the German to occupy.
The game ended on the final Norwegian turn, when a Mtr50 scored a critical hit on the 10-2 killing him.
It was fun anyway because my errors kept the game interesting up to the end.
Probably a bid of 11 to play the German is the minimum if you know the scenario.
2015-05-16(D) David Yllanes vs James R German winAn interesting scenario, I bid too low and, despite incredible performances by my MGs, in the end the attacker managed to occupy enough buildings.
