Channel Ports, 17 September 1944: Hitler had designated all three of these port towns "fortresses."
Though the garrisons had been isolated since early September, they were to fight on at all costs to
tie Allied forces down in France (and therefore away from the Reich) and deny them to Allied
shipping. Though the fortress garrisons were of the dubious quality, they could rely on concrete
fortifications, thick bands of landmines, and defensive inundations for protection. Despite being
backed up by substantial firepower, it would soon become apparent to the Canadians that the
fortresses in Nord Pas de Calais could not be conquered swiftly...
[Size:Medium]
Design Note: This scenario should be played with the optional "Indirect Fire and Airstrikes by the
Map" optional rule to enable the British cross-channel guns to fire on targets in France.
