The Germns set up primarily in the town hexes on Board 27, with a few units dug in outside of town, and the Jagdpanzer IV guarding the rear against any incursions by British tanks. On the very first activation the 75/41 ATG, dug in on the brow of a hill, took out a step of Stuarts - and promptly was taken out by artillery fire. Several Cromwell platoons pulled up to towns and started blasting away at the occupants, albeit with little success, while the infantry - harassed by artillery, mortars and fire from the 150mm Infantry Gun - closed in. The Jagdpanzer unit moved up to a hilltp town and engaged in a profitable duel with some Cromwells, taking out several steps before the British tankers pulled out of range and worked back towards the main battle.

For the balance of the game, several assaults got into gear, though as things turned out none were resolved by game's end (the defenders were worn down some.) Artillery, in particular, took a fair toll of that infantry still in the open. The Jagdpanzer pulled up near the assault hexes, but before it could open fire on Cromwell platoons at a 2-hex range, one of the British units took out the entire TD platoon. Still, the stubborn Lehr defense held on grimly in the towns. The British did manage to send 3 steps of Cromwells to take the Board 33 towns and finish south of the east-west board.

At the finish, there were 4 twon hexes still in dispute, with the Germans holding six more, while the Cromwells had been the last to occupy 2 and physically occupied one. The British lost 15 steps, of which 4 were tank steps, while the Germans lost both tank steps and 9 non-tank. With the 3 tanks steps steps south of the east-west road on Board 33, the British ended up with 25 points, to the German 31. A minor victory for Lehr.
