The game begins- The German mission was to secure the crossroads.
German paratroopers dropped from aircraft or in this case 1inch square pieces of paper dropped on to the battlefield from a moving box.
Each piece of paper dropped had written on it which section and which figures it represented. Those landing on a wood diced for survival successfully. The figures have been carefully placed on their respective pice of paper.
The game begins and the German paratroopers find their respective NCO’s and equipment.
One German Section hid in a wood only to have a section of Norwegians move straight into them as the Norwegians entered the table. Firefight ensued.
Advancing Norwegians in their attempt to reclaim the cross roads help by the opposition.
German paratroopers take cover behind fences.
Messy table at end of game. The Norwegians had failed to take the crossroads in the allotted time.
The para landings by way of a paper drop is a clever mechanic! Did any troops miss the landing zone?
