Setup: The Americans split their force into four equal parts, assigning each to defend the limiting terrain on Boards 1 and 4. They hold back the Pershings to defend against any armored breakthroughs on the part of the Soviets. The Soviets follow the Americans lead and split themselves into four forces. The infantry attack with the JS-2's and T-44's on Board 1, while the rest of the force ties up the Americans elsewhere on the map.

Play: The Soviets swing all of their infantry south with JS-2's, while the twelve T-44's hang back so that they can make a charge if things go badly. The Soviet SMG's and HMG's charge in the north with the Soviet M4's and after passing through relatively unscathed from American AT fire from the M4/76's, the T-34/85's begin to duel with the American tanks. The duel last several tuns, and eventually the fight in the north becomes an infantry battle. The Americans and Soviets suffer almost equal armored losses, with the advantage to the Americans.

Meanwhile, in the south, the Soviet's first wave of infantry reach the town, but the Americans' OF cuts them down. Even the JS-2's succumb to American AT fire from M4/76's. The Soviets exchange fire with the Americans in the north, while the second wave of infantry replace their fallen comrades, and survive the American OF. The JS-2's and M4/76's begin a two turn duel, with the skilled Americans taking out several platoons of JS-2's.

The Soviets begin their main attack across the entire line, assaulting every available American position, making some gains in step losses early in the attack. However, the next turn, the Americans take a toll on the Soviet attack, and their morale begins to fail them, thus the Soviet attack losses steam. The first wave begins to recover and prepares to aid in the attack. Americans in the north have all but obliterated the Soviet forces, but decline to follow the demoralized units out of their own dug-in positions.

The Soviet attack in the town begins to peter out, and the Soviet commanders bring up the T-44's in the rear to attempt a charge past the Americans' line and off the board edge. The Soviet then completely breaks in the south, and the Soviets move their remaining JS-2's and the T-44's out into the open, charging northward. The Pershings begin to fire, taking out dozens of Soviet tanks, but eleven steps make it through the armored defense, all others demoralized and fleeing.

Result: Major American Victory. The Soviets managed to pass twenty-two steps off the north edge of the map. The Step Count stands at 65-105, with the Americans having a 40 step lead.
