World in Flames Redux

[Schwerpunkt75]

In our game, Kernel t did a nice job with his amphibious landing.  He swung all his boats around to his right (to my Norwegians’ left) and landed almost everyone safely. The only instance of German losses was when one of my airstrikes emptied out one of his boats.

Those Germans advanced into town and our battle turned into a door-to-door urban street fight.  It was a grind of arty, smoke and cat-and-mouse tactics.

Landing everyone to the west (away from the Norwegian defenses) is basically the only option for the seaborne troops to have any success/survival.

In my game, it took the lives of a lot of schutzen, plus their boats, before I figured this out. Even then, a lucky (or from my perspective, unlucky) map-based artillery strike from General Lee wiped out almost all of the surviving infantrymen, just as they were about to disembark.
