Overview:

After one week of intense fighting, the Allies conquered most of Walcheren Island and Anvers Harbor looked likely to be opened in a short time. The last elements of the garrison however regrouped in the northeast corner of the island near the village of Vrouwenpolder. Number 4 Commando was given the task of clearing the woods near the village and took on the headquarter elements of Infanterie Division 70.

2026-08-30(D) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers German winFun little scenario, would be good for a tournament. The Commandos look overwhelming next to the pathetic dross they're facing, but they have a lot to do. I was able to get most of my starting force back to the village, albeit some of that was broken. A scorching fire phase saw Martin break most of my defenders he could see on turn 5, but my only PF of the game took out his 10-2 on a wound roll. An ongoing Melee on turn 5 blocked one of his approaches to the two possible VP buildings, and a 20+2 shot on my desperate Conscript squad only pinned it, enabling it to participate in an encirclement of his main assault force in the street, which was then pinned by the AA Gun adjacent. A close game, if the 10-2 had survived I don't think I would have won it.
