From Norroway, from Norroway.

 A number of things just aligned- one of my regular opponents bemoaning the lack of regular troops in our VBCW games ( he just doesn’t appreciate scouts with rockets and shotgun armed shooting party not to mention the W.I) watching “Narvik” on tv and this stained glass in Abbot’s House-


So the idea came for an intervention force from Norway in the vbcw , their initial mission to take back the Northern Isles for Norway but then they got mixed up in the fighting more generally…

I looked online found the Great Escape Games Store saw some 1940 Norwegians, ordered them and they arrived very quickly, I think the next day! I just got on with them whilst listening to Scandi History podcast, appropriately enough-


It is a small but powerful force- HQ group, with medic etc, two sections with lmg and rifles, one extra tank bursting section with Molotov cocktails etc, a large mortar and spotter and finally a heavy machine gun. 
I am awaiting the mortar and tank busters but should get them on the table in time for the next scheduled game.
