(The artilleries were situated one in front of the other)
-"Give me four 15cm guns again and I´ll return to war"- Ex-nazi Hauptmann Georg Witze to his grandsons when he was eighty years old.

(Bad Luck for the SS Stug G, one of it explodes after a hit of an antitank gun. The platoons of the left german flank are pinned down by mortar fire)

-"First we softened the germans with some distant fire. Then it was time for hand to hand"- Sergeant Mckincey of the 4th Infantry Division in a post-war interview.

(The U.S. general hides his recce jeeps and 105mm Shermans)

(And then deploys the Antitank guns and flanks by the flooded side, killing the artillery observer)
-"If you have a protected flank, you have a protected flank. Ask Von Clausewitz"- Oberst Kristoff von Struffen of 275 Infanteriedivision


(The AA platoon advanced coverd by the pioneers)

-"That U.S. AA platoon... that U.S. AA platoon... I knew it would cause us problems. For ya boy with ball!"- Ex-nazi Hauptmann Georg Witze to his grandsons when he was eighty years old.

(The Panzer Lehr Platoon lost its half-tracks under mortar fire)



(The U.S. artillery fires a smoke screen to the german observer, but, with the staff, the germans repeat its shoot several times. Finally the german bombshells destroyed the U.S. self-propelled guns in turn six)

-"Where was I... Yes! Give me four 15cm guns again and I´ll return to war! Aho!Aho!Aho!"- Ex-nazi Hauptmann Georg Witze to his grandsons when he was eighty years old.

(The AA platoon kills the whole grenadier platoon in the farm)

-"I know we have the best armament. But sometimes I realize the yankees have all their armament everywhere"- Oberst Kristoff von Struffen of the 275 Infanteriedivision

(With two shermans bogged down, the command tank did flee the remnants of the Panzergrenadier Lehr Platoon)

(And the brave infantry of the 4th assaulted successfully the SS Panzers)
-"My riflemen were the best! These SS were a cowardly pigs"- Sergeant Mckincey of the 4th Infantry Division in a post-war interview.

(But the Grenadiers finished the job the Panzergrenadiers were unable)
-"Ah!, the old and faithful infantry"- Oberst Kristoff Von Struffen of 275 Infanteriedivision

(The hit of the sniper pinned down the rifle platoon, under fire from the Grenadier Rifle/MG. The U.S. infantry had to give ground)

-"What do I prefer, MG or sniper fire? With their MGs the germans put a bullet in my chest that near killed me. But this damned sniper hit me in the ass!"- Sergeant Mckincey of the 4th Infantry Division in a post-war interview

(Direct Fire from the Grenadier Assault Guns and the 15cm survivor Gun sent hell two Shermans. The command Sherman held against overhelming numbers)

-"I knew that we were only a distraction. But, hell, I didn´t know was what a distraction was so dangerous"- Lt. Hal

(Last team standing. Another failed Motivation check failed: sole survivor)

(The A.A. Platoon eliminites the last resistance and takes the objective)
