Overview:

To kick of the attack known as Operation VERITABLE, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, supported by the 3rd Armoured Battalion of the Scots Guards, was ordered to take the hilly ground around Louisendorf, south of Moyland. This would protect the right flank of the main attack by the Regina Rifle Regiment, which was to force its way north and east, towards the Rhine, and sever the Goch-Kolcar road, thus splitting Panzer-Division 116 into two parts that would no longer be able to support one another. The Winnipeg Rifles, supported by Churchills, left their assembly area near Bedburg in Kangaroo carriers and headed across the dreary fields towards Louisendorf.

Errata (source)
The Scot Guards were never called "CanScots". This appears to be a misunderstanding of the source material. The CanScots were the 1st Battalion, Canadian Scottish Regiment, a sister infantry unit to the Winnipeg Rifles in the 3rd Canadian Division. They did not have tanks. The Scots Guards, on the other hand, did have a tank regiment in NW Europe. They are correctly identified in the order of battle, but not in the aftermath and prelude sections.canadiansoldiers.com

2021-04-30(A) Andy Bagley vs Matt Ellis German winGermans set up a very 'up-front' defence, with everything except the HIP mortar in hex numbers 3 & 4. My initial approach was cautious and went OK, but then I saw a risky opportunity to run my Kangaroos through his lines and capture building 64L5 early. Turned out to be too risky however; I dodged the panzerfausts but overlooked how powerful his ATMMs could be if he successfully rushed my Kangaroos, which he did. So all three of them fell to CC attacks despite being in motion. I then lost a couple of other close CCs and found an A-T mine with my flamethower tank, and it was all over. Very interesting and enjoyable scenario, even though I lost.
2021-02-14(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM Canadian winThis one tests your resolve. Pushed through early losses and walked through one minefield unscathed. Lots of PF misses, good CC results and a CH on the JagdPanther helped but it was still a hard-earned win.
