**Night Attack on Woensdrecht - The Matrix Games version of West Front

[Woensdrecht, Holland]:[H2H]:[WIF] :This scenario depicts the night attack of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry of Canada against Woensdrecht. After earlier attempts of the Calagary Highlanders and the Black Watch to secure acces over land towards Walcheren had failed, the 'Rileys' were given the task to do what the others couldn't: capture "Woensdrecht Hill" that dominated all land approaches to Walcheren and hold it. This time the attack would be by night and supported by the massive artillery of over a hundred guns. Initially the RHLI managed to take Woensdrecht, but they were driven back again in the course of the day by a vicious counterattack of Von der Heydtes 6th Paratroop Regiment. At the end of the day, the Rileys succeeded in retaking Woensdrecht. The road and the railway embankment leading to Walcheren however could not be secured and therefore the battle remained undecided until the 23rd of October when the Gemans withdrew north. This scenario depicts a "what if" situation if Von der Heydte had decided to contest the Canadian assault instead of ordering his troops back to the second line of defense before the Canadian attack had started.
