Setup: I thought about this for a long time. I set MG34 to AMBUSH and kept them at the BACK of the house. The Command Team and MG42 were in 3 story bldgs.

All teams set to AMBUSH. It didn't take long for US troopers to arrive!

The American advance begins to take shape. The lead team hugs the ground as they approach the first house...……………… I debated whether or not to open up...

US troopers come into range and AD-Hoc opens up on their own!

I decided to pull AD-Hoc out, once the mortars began to fall.

Overview:
It turns out that Light AA had been firing at advancing US troopers! While I was busy with the center, things were beginning to heat up for MG34!

The situation as I first found it. I ended up spending a lot of time at this location!

Meanwhile, back in the CENTER the repositioned AD-Hoc team had taken casualties. With the mortars still dropping, US teams skirt the middle and head south!

US Troopers take the corner. Some of the units that move to the south will eventually encounter a fleeing (AA) crew member!

Farmhouse: American casualties mount but eventually overwhelm the Germans. I'm virtually certain I witnessed a stun grenade attack. The two unconscious crew members eventually regained consciousness and began fighting again!
