Scenario Description
The North Shore Regiment had been ordered to advance toward the Rhine. Its Commander, Lt. Col. John Rowley, was known as the Good Shepherd for the long walking staff he usually carried. The regiment closed on Kepplen with the two lead companies advancing on either side of the narrow, paved road that ran into the middle of town. As they approached the innocent looking barn at the edge of town, they stumbled into a concealed German strongpoint. From the edge of town an infantry gun opened up, followed by a well-concealed Sturmgeschütz and significant crossfire of small arms. The Canadians sent in their Wasps to burn out the defenders.
