That is a very good point, if I want to do some studying I should use the town library. We have a very good library at the college in my town also.

I thought a link was in my profile sig. but I forgot to put it there. I'll do a search today of Xanten, I'm not about to buy books and maps to make a scenario but I'll certainly look for a book from C.P Stacey next time I go to the bookstore. I live on the westcoast of Canada near Vancouver how about you guys? Re/ the scenario I already have it pretty much underway and did a test last night and it's quite fun. I'd just like to better model some of the terrain and the situtaion for the briefing and storyline.

Oh; and thanks for the above posts and thanks in advance if you post a link or send me one guys. Try my operation I made if you feel ambitious it's on my website in the download section and is called the "Cliffs of St.Athan." It's not historic if this a important factor to you but does model somewhat of the proper forces at the time of Operation Goodwood near the Drome River south of Caen. So far I've gotten lots of good feedback on it. I would just love to make a scenario that is very fun but also models proper or somewhat accurate forces, map and situation. Johnno

Hey Jason many of my searches came up with references to the war memorial of the fighting in the Reichswald Forest. I think I'll start to concentrate my search on Feb 45 instead of Sept 44; Panzer leader must have screwed up. Apparently the war memorial is in Normandy near the location that the Canadians were at the time of September 44. So I suppose this was a screw up for Avalon Hill. I still would like to do this scenario for Feb 45 could anyone mail me a link for maps of the area in question. I did searches for the Reichswald Forest with no luck. Johnno

Been to your webpage already in my search Michael...thought you might answer. I have the board game 'Panzer Leader' and one of the scenarios is called "The Reichswald." That scenario gave me the idea to make or recreate what I thought was a historical battle between the 2nd Canadian Infantry and the 84th German Infantry Division; it might not be historical though it doesn't say. I found one link that described the weather at this time for Sept 44 and it was heavy rain.

I'm having problems with an operation I'm doing for CM which happens in around Sept 7, 44 with the 2nd Canadian Infantry. I've been searching for hours for some decent historical maps and descriptions of the conflict at this time between the 2nd Canadian Infantry and the German 84th Infantry. So if anyone has a resource that they can supply me to better study and make the battle at least somewhat historical please send it my way.
