Kampfgruppe (KG) Maucke's lead panzergrenadier platoon comes under fire. The advance has been discovered. KG Maucke realizes it will now need to use force to penetrate the American lines. The panzergrenadier battalion deploys to clear the road. The battlegroup decimates the American parachute platoon that opened fire on the lead platoon, leaving one section alive. The panzer company advances to shell the .50-cal MG platoons. An American TD platoon opens fire and destroys II. panzer platoon. III. panzer platoon returns fire and destroys the American TD platoon. The surviving panzers pull back out of LOS in case additional TD platoons are ahead. Tank tracks were heard during the replay, but it was thought that the tanks were further away.
