Americans try and provide a desperate defense at St. Vith. They spread out along the North-South Road on map 25 and begin digging in immediately. German troops begin engaging US troops on Turn 3 and German artillery is surprising effective despite having only a few guns to spare. By turn 5 German troops begin assaulting US troops stationed along the flanks, who offer token resistance and begin retreating towards the crossroads where the main force is dug in.

Turn 8 starts with US troops trying to defend the crossroads with their remaining armor and troops, reinforcements are not in site. US tanks begin to take casualties, losing the Stuarts to PaK-40s in short order and retreat as German anti-tank guns begin to zero in on them, though the Germans lose a platoon of PaK-38s in trade for their aggression. By turn 12 US troops are falling back, having taken around 50% casualties and with no help on the board yet.

Turn 14 sees German troops moving in on the town on map 22, firing on the two US infantry platoons stationed there and cutting off the retreating US troops, catching them in a pocket. On turn 15 help finally arrives, though it appears to be too late as German troops are now assaulting the town, taking two town hexes, destroying one US infantry platoon and demoralizing the other, causing them to retreat on turn 16, handing the last town hex over the German infantry.

US artillery catches the German troops out in the open, causing heavy casualties, though German troops now hold the town. The last several turns consist of heavy German casualties, but also the elimination of the remaining US infantry and the engineers unable to assault the town due to increasing numbers of German infantry entering it. German major victory on turn 24. 33 US steps and officers lost, 14 German.
