Norwegian Naval Thunder at Narvik 1940



I've now lined up the final naval project for next year, with an order dispatched to Navy Models and Books for a 1/3000th scale Davco starter battle pack for the early war Kriegsmarine c1940-41. This has been inspired by two things, firstly an excellent Narvik game I played at the club when it wasn't locked down back in the Summer and secondly, by a campaign supplement for Naval Thunder that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, which covers the early war phase of naval operations in the North and South Atlantic from September 1939 to June 1940. The initial plan will be to assemble the ships for the Battle of the River Plate, then develop it outwards to include the various elements for the Norwegian campaign, with a specific focus on the first and second battles of Narvik. I can't wait to get started!

  3. Me too. I'm going to focus on the destroyers first together with some U-Boats and merchants, as this is the basis of the Narvik scenarios.
