This one started slowly, but with the American reinforcements coming in the Germans were forced to retreat until there was little left to retreat to. Initial American efforts were to take the towns in the NW and SW boards. The SW towns were cleared by the initial American forces but were stopped in the NW towns along with fortifications on either side. The first American reinforcements solved that problem. The bulk of the 2nd American reinforcements were tasked with the taking of the town on the SE board. This was accomplished easily. With three boards cleared and the defensive line along the Ridge line between the West and East boards broken it was game over for the Germans.
