In the early morning of April 9th 1940 the Danish army is alerted. The Germans have crossed the border; Denmark is at war against Europe’s strongest army. In Southern Jutland Danish bicycle- and motorcycle companies are ordered out, to against all odds, hold back the forces until the Danish reinforcements can be mobilized. In the fatal hours, we follow second lieutenant Sand (Pilou Asbæk) and his bicycle company – they will as the first Danish soldiers meet the enemy in combat on April 9th 1940.

This is a small mini campaign inspired by the Danish Film April 9th (Nordisk Film 2015). It is not meant to be a historically accurate simulation of the fight, or an imitation of the actions in the film. Feel free to change any details you want. It is your game, after all. I hope you enjoy it.
