Reading other AARs, this looked to be a huge undertaking. Fortunately, for the US, but his was not so much the case. The Germans started to withdraw early, but too late not to feel the wrath of the US arty. The forward units lost a platoon or mortars and 2 platoons of infantry and two officers. One officer was popped alone acting as an observer. It was not all one sided though, as the engineers to this point got no one across the river. The US then set about moving units across from the first town, and engineers got a good lot of infantry across. The bridge dice were indeed kind, and the bridge went up with enough time for the US to get armor and arty across to support a strong attack on the town on map 11. The US took some hard losses, to the Stugs and 88s especially, but the Germans were ground down and thrown out of the town. US win.
