Town of Askim, Norway-"The Östfold" (best played against a human opponent) Shortly after the German invasion of Norway, the German forces found themselves advancing quickly against the Norweigen defenders. Through a series of blunders on the Norweigen side having to do with communications, the Germans were having an easy time of it. An important though small action occurred near Askim in the Östfold (which is the south-eastern part of Norway). It might have changed the ease of the German conquest had the Norweigens done things differently. Askim was defended by some ad hoc infantry and artillery with more artillery support from the nearby Höytorp fortress. In actuality they lost the battle mainly due to misinterpreted orders and complacency. Can the Norweigen commander hold the line against the Germans long enough to change history?? (DESIGNER'S NOTES) Again my thanks to Steve 'von Niemack' for allowing me to use his map for this project. I have attempted to simulate the disorganised Norweigen command structure by my unusual placement of the Norweigen forces rather than making them 'fixed' troops.
