Halls of Hegra

From an abandoned mountain fortress, command a band of Norwegian volunteers resisting a larger invading force in the early days of World War II. Play through three phases—mobilization, initial counterattacks, and a prolonged siege—managing exploration, recruitment, supply routes, and defenses. Gameplay uses worker placement, bag-building, and area-control/tower-defense mechanics to resolve patrols, resource gathering, and mounting assaults. Make tactical choices about patrols, fortifications, and morale while coping with bombardment, infantry attacks, and deteriorating supplies. The game plays solitaire, focusing on planning and endurance across evolving scenarios.
