Abstract: We present evidence that the CHL string in eight dimensions is dual to F-theory compactified on an elliptic K3 with a $Gamm{a}_0(2)$ monodromy group. The monodromy group $Gamm{a}_0(2)$ allows one to turn on the flux of an antisymmetric two form along the base. The $B_{muu}$ flux is quantized and therefore the moduli space of the CHL string is disconnected from the moduli space of F-theory/Heterotic strings (as expected). The non-zero $B_{muu}$ flux obstructs certain deformations restricting the moduli of elliptic K3 to a 10 dimensional moduli space. We also discuss how one can reconstruct the gauge groups from the elliptic fibration structure.
