The American player had set up his most power adjacent to the 3 German controlled town hexes, so the German player had to retreat his Gren and 20mm units. But instead of leaving the town hexes unoccupied the German player moved Pz IVH tanks with Gren support to the town hexes, to assault the American defense in the next turn.

The American player tried to inflict some step losses to the tanks with his AT-guns, but they lacked firepower, and the German player assaulted the fist hex, which included a INF, a demoralized 3-inch and a demoralized M3. In the first round of the assault the german player inflicted two step losses. But the Americans still had a good grip at the town.

This changed when the German reinforcements attacked the back of the town, and the Americans where surrounded! While the Germans in the east of the town won terrain with assaults, the German Para's attacked the north of the town with no effect. But in the south of the town one INF and one HMG unit assaulted the German Pz IVH and two Gren units which where gaining too much terrain. This was a big mistake, because they immediately suffered two step losses, and the Germans south of the town crossed the river and took the town hex where the American INF and HMG assaulted from. Now the German player had a good grip on the town. and started to drive the American remainders out.

Conclusion

With the Americans suffered enormous casualties and almost all town hexes German controlled, the German player won a major victory.
