This is a damage control scenario for the US. They are severely outnumbered and cannot hope to hold forward positions until their reinforcements arrive, as they are too few also. The US chose unwisely though, going for a forward defense to try and slow the Germans down until air and more OBA arrive later, with the small infantry and armor reinforcement. The Germans merely went around the strongpoints, allowing units behind the spearheads to engage them. The German tidal wave overwhelmed several US positions and were ready to meet the US reinforcements. The US units were badly mauled and could not hold the either east/west road. The Germans exited over 50steps and held both roads for the win.
