There are problems with this scenario: it cannot be set-up using the standard terrain tiles of Memoir '44 and the selected extensions. There are too many terrains of one or more types. Please contact the author.
Historical Background:
By October 31st, 1944, all lands surrounding the Schelt estuary had been cleared of German control, save for Walcheren Island, whose coastal batteries commanded the approaches to the waterway. These guns made possession of Antwerp irrelevant as far as easing Allied logistical concerns. The 5th Canadian Inf. Brigade and elements of the British 52nd Infantry Division, notably the Glasgow Highlanders, were ordered to take the island.
Briefing:
Allies: 5 cards, you move first.
Axis: 4 cards.
Conditions of Victory:

The two hexes for the city of Middelburg are temporary medal objectives for the Allies.
Special Rules:

Stiff Upper Lip rules are in effect.

All German artillery are 1 figure.
NOTE: Rice paddies act as flooded fields.
