Counterattack at Hoogerheide, 9 October 1944: The battered 346. I.D. could do nothing to check
the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division's advance. With the fall of Woensdrecht and the isolation of the
Zuid-Beveland Isthmus imminent, Von Zangen had no choice but to once again call upon
Kampfgruppe Chill to restore the situation. On the night of October 7th-8th, he ordered Chill to
break off his attack toward Poppel and send Kampfgruppe Von Der Heydte to reinforce the
crumbling 346. I.D. The paratroopers loaded into trucks and sped west to Bergen op Zoom, arriving
just in time to halt the Canadian Black Watch's advance toward Kortevan. Skirmishes continued
throughout the night, and on the The advance from Antwerp. From Didden & Swaarts’
Herbststurm/Autumn Gale morning of October 9th Von Der Heydte ordered two battalions of
Fs.Jg.Rgt. 6 to attack the Canadian 5th Infantry Brigade at Hoogerheide. As the paratroopers
attacked, the Royal Regiment of Canada mounted its own attack against the German positions on
the railway embankment west of Woensdrecht. Both the Canadian and German attackers would
meet determined opposition, and the coming days would see some of the hardest fighting of the
Scheldt Campaign...
[Size: Small]
Design Note: This scenario starts as a draw. The German player can win a major victory by holding
the objective hex west of Woensdrecht and capturing Hoogerheide while the Allied player must
defend Hoogerheide and carry the objective west of Woensdrecht.
