Operation Herbststurm, 7 September 1944: Though the German situation in Belgium was dire, it
was not irretrievable. Montgomery's day- long halt order to XXX Corps had bought Student
valuable time to organize behind the Albert Canal and additional reinforcements were on the way.
If 15. Armee could extricate itself from its immediate peril, it could concentrate on a narrower and
narrower front as it retreated toward Zeelandic Flanders. The days of easy Allied victories were
over and from September 7 forward they were to encounter ever-increasing resistance...
[Size: Large]
In this variant of the scenario, objective hexes have been placed to provide the Allied player with
two "tracks" to a major victory. He may choose to focus on encircling the 15th Army or pushing
across the Albert Canal to the Dutch border. The objectives are balanced in such a way that he must
pursue one of these "tracks" to its conclusion - making limited progress in both "tracks" is unlikely
to result in Allied victory.
This scenario must be played with the "Virtual Supply Trucks" and "Extended Patrolling" optional
rules.
