“ Several times a year, when we feel like it, the Golden Journal brings Gold Club members some fun extras for their Avalanche Press games. Our new-model Golden Journal features a “real” booklet, just like a small magazine, and a small set of die-cut, silky-smooth playing pieces.
On the morning of 9 April 1940, two German infantry divisions and a tank-reinforced motorized brigade surged over the border into Denmark. Airborne landings helped pave the way, and some of the troops landed on the Danish islands from German warships. The small Danish Army, with one day’s preparation as the government hoped to avoid provoking the Germans, resisted for about four hours and could not stop the occupation. Total casualties are still unclear, but about two dozen Danes and slightly fewer Germans were killed in the sporadic fighting.
Golden Journal No. 60: 9 April 1940 is a Panzer Grenadier expansion based on this brief campaign. We cover all of the (small) battles that took place. Along with those four new Panzer Grenadier scenarios, you get 24 new die-cut and silky-smooth playing pieces. You’ll need Road to Dunkirk to play the scenarios.
The Danes get their motorcycle-mounted 20mm anti-tank guns, which might not sound like much of a threat, but the Germans only have light tanks that can’t stand up to these mighty Danish weapons. The Danes are at a real disadvantage in the historical scenarios, as they’re outnumbered and unprepared, but they could easily have been ready to put up a real fight, and you can play that out, too.”
