Turn 8 Germans:
START OF TURN:
This time, the Germans concentrated all of their firepower against the summit. However they were unable to rally any of their pinned units in the hex immediately above the objective and in the hex just to the upper left. Not being able to advance, they fired at the summit. After all the firing, there were only eight pinned US troops left at the summit and eight disrupted German troops in the hex to the lower left. The Germans final assault killed one of the defenders, which meant the outcome of the assault hinged on a morale check. Alas, the bloody uphill battle had taken its toll on the Germans. With their morale gone, the Germans retreated from the summit having come ever so close to their goal.
