The Norwegian defense has been very stout thus far and the king has made good progress away from the advancing Germans. But we have lost one of our possible actions in the Order Grid. It’s about to get really tough! Crown & Courage from Tompet Games coming to Kickstarter in June.

It is thursday again and that means we take a closer look at another historical moment from the game. Many Norwegians fought the germans during the war. But did you know that some chose to collaborate with them? This is also represented in the game by collaborator cards.

When the German invasion of Norway began, the Norwegian gold reserve was evacuated from Oslo first over land to Åndalsnes and then by ship to Tromsø. From Tromsø, allied forces shipped the gold to Britain, despite German ground and air attacks.

Our illustrator Joeri Lefevre has been with us even longer. He started working with us all the way back on Donning the purple and has worked with us on every project ever since. Here is a closer look at some of Joeri and Jog´s work.

Lets take a closer look at another historical moment from the game. The Battle of Midtskogen was fought during the night of 9–10 April 1940. The invading Germans wanted to capture Haakon VII and his cabinet in an attempt to force Norway into surrender.

The ship led the flotilla of German warships into the Oslofjord on the night of 8 April, to seize Oslo. It sunk after coastal guns and torpedos fired upon it from Oscarsborg fortress. This delayed the invasion enough for the royal family to escape the capital.

Halls of Hegra. Lately I have been on this solo only board game kick. This one often gets compared to Robinson Crusoe but I think it plays quite a bit differently. It's a lot more forgiving in the beginning and you are actually trying to prepare for the end. #hallsofhegra #boardgame #tabletopgame

Completed (lost) at my first game of Halls of Hegra at the end of turn 8. This was a tough game but I like it! The pressure on your actions builds exponentially and you soon find yourself in serious trouble. #hallsofhegra #ww2 #history #boardgames #solitairegames #imhavingmyone #imhavingmyonepodcast

Got absolutely demolished in my first Halls of Hegra match. The German onslaught was relentless! Clearly, my wall defending setup needs a serious overhaul. I'm thinking of focusing more on adding troops on the defensive position sooner. What are your go-to defensive strategies for this game?
