The Germans must take part of the town to win, while the US must maintain control of the entire town to win (apparently very difficult for the US). The Germans decided to use the cover of woods and changing visibility conditions to approach the east side of the town undetected. The US plan was to stay in the town and force the Germans to assault.

The German plan went fairly well. They were able to control three town hexes (despite stiff US resistance) and were assaulting two others by the end of the scenario. They eliminated nine US steps while losing six of their own. The German met the conditions for a Minor Victory (I believe the scenario victory conditions requiring the German to eliminate six steps or control the entire town should be and).

Artillery was not a factor, most likely because (1) I was worried about friendly fire, (2) it was available only about half the time for the Germans, and a third of the time for the US, and (3) spotting distances were often very low.
