Assault on Fornebu - The Matrix Games version of West Front

Oslo, Norway (Battle in the North Tournament) - In order to secure bases for Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe as a prelude to the assault on Allies in Lower Countries, Germans started their biggest gamble in this war. Krigsmarine's battlegroups transporting assault troops had to sneak almost in front of the powerful Royal Navy. Despite the chances they reached all destination points. However not everything went according to the plan. Norwegian coastal defence batteries stopped the main group heading towards Oslo and sunk heavy cruiser "Blucher". That unfortunatelly did not secure the capital. German paratroopers together with airlifted infantry launched airborne assault on Fornebu airfield on the outskirts of Oslo. With the main invasion group stopped and forced to land at the entry to the Oslofjord, airborne assault became the main attempt to capture capital together with the King, Parliament and General Staff in order to stop the fighting in one lightning strike. Norwegian troops in the capital counting some Royal Guards units together with cadets from military schools hastily organized defences calling for every reinforcements within the reach. The gamble to save the King began![NOTE: As an assault was complete surprise for the garrison Allies cannot blow the bridges, as they were not prepared to do so]
