This was a quick solo play of the scenario, using Laska's Rock 'n' Roll rules variant from the AP website.

With visibility and artillery support varying from turn to turn, the Germans opted to go for a direct assault on Holzthum. This met with little initial success, and the Captain and Lieutenant leading the assault were both killed in the first wave, leaving the Germans decapitated and unable to move. The Americans capitalised on the opportunity to launch a sortie from the village, inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans. The survivors fell back under fire as soon as they were able, taking further casualties and becoming disrupted. Failure to recover from the disruption caused yet more casualties, and the game was called on Turn 10 (Turn 20 in the conventional rules) due to the Germans being too severely disorganised to mount a realistic 2nd assault.

As the Americans sustained only two step losses (both in the initial assault), and retained control of the village, the game ended an American Major Victory
