Played the intro scenario "St. Laurent Again" playing both sides. The Americans approached the town through the hedgerows, forming up for assaults on an entrenched machine gun position as well as St. Laurent itself. A foolhardy early assault on the entrenched position by a platoon of Sherman tanks was repulsed with significant losses, and the German defenders called in artillery on US infantry units forming up for assaults and also subjected them to withering defensive fire leaving the US forces stalled in disrupted or demoralized status. Attempts to rally the troops were met by more fire and more demoralized and disrupted units. As dusk approached, the Germans moved infantry units from a hill overlooking a crossroads to the entrenched position and onward to reinforce the units defending the town but leaving only one reduced HMG platoon in the entrenchment. As US units rallied, an artillery barrage followed by an assault by tanks and infantry destroyed the defending unit bringing a minor victory within the American's grasp. The Germans quickly formed an assault group to take back the position and moved from the town alongside the entrenched enemy to ready for the assault. The Americans countered with an artillery barrage and direct fire attack that wiped out two of the German infantry platoons. With the assault group reduced by 2/3rds, the German leadership pulled the remaining infantry platoon back to St. Laurent to ensure that the town was still in German hands by nightfall. The result was a minor US victory, with the German left no option but to retreat with what few troops remained after the assault.
