The Americans won a minor victory, though coming very close to a major one. By having the initiative the first two turns they were able to rush forward to board 22 and make the Germans advance across open ground. The Germans rushed the Americans, leaving their tanks to provide fire support if the Americans opened up during opportunity fire. The Americans did not but fired and moved with their M-18's. Eventually it came down to close combat. By the time this transpired, however, the Germans had lost all their armor and therefore did not get the combined arms bonus. This hurt them as the Americans were mostly in woods hexes. When the game ended the Americans had lost most of their armor, the Germans over half of their infantry, and were only able to prevent a major American victory by moving a unit on the rode (board 25) at the last minute.
