The Italians set up on the two southern hills to attempt to at least delay the Germans from exiting the map. The Germans massed and assaulted the hill on their left and destroyed the 4 Italian platoons there. The Italians attempted to retract their remaining platoons to a position to hold up the German advance. The Italians had managed to eliminate 4 German steps, the Germans 8 Italian steps and exited over 4 steps for a German victory.
