The US Stuarts were placed well out front of the town, trying to force the German armor into positions for crossfires but the longer range of the German guns foiled that scheme turn after turn, as Stuart tanks sat burning on the hillsides. The German major, leading the Motorcycle company, nearly lost his life when he lead the surviving motorcycle troops into close assault in the town and ended up the sole survivor, but the German Captain lead the foot troops into the northern town hex and after 4 turns, whittled away at the US and British armor holding that hex. Over the course of 10 turns, the outlying Stuarts and M3/81 were destroyed and the Germans got a foothold in the town, with long range AT shots destroying the armor holding the eastern hex and then sniping at the remaining steps that were in close combat with the German infantry. As turn 10 ended, the last of the British tanks were eliminated following the loss of the last steps of the T30 and a Stuart platoon in the northernmost town hex. Germans lost exactly 12 steps, so won 2 of 3 of their victory conditions for a minor victory. Good game after a bit of a long break in my usual gaming.
