Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy

LUNDEHØGDA 1940

After several days of fighting withdrawal, the Norwegian Bataljon Torkildsen, an ad-hoc unit under Infanteriregiment 4, blew the bridge in the small industrial centre Moelv, filled the main road along Lake Mjøsa with roadblocks, and dug in on the Lundehøgda ridge. On the 20th the motorcycle vanguard of MG-Bataillon 13 was ambushed from the heights as they were clearing roadblocks.

I haven’t connected this scenario to any particular set of rules. It is very much a list of suggestions alongside a detailed map and orders of battle. My intention is to enable players to face the same challenges that the historical commanders did in 1940. This could be played as a company level game or as a series of platoon level games as part of a campaign.

THE FORCES

The following forces are based on the orders of battle on 20 and 21 April 1940, as far as can be established.
