Final US attack to village. US Tanks are attacking german positions. US tanks attack is supporting by US IDF fire from M-7 and US mortars and all Rifle Companies and Heavy companies located in the farm. Sherman OP find german MMG and call IDF fire to him.

Second Panter platoon hit one of 75mm Sherman and destroyed him to first shoot. In this time is destroyed German HQ (include commander), crews AT gun (include gun), one Panzer Grenadier Company (all) and German player must test morale. Him test was unsuccessfully (1 on the D6). German Panzer Grenadier Battalion must leave from battlefield!!
Last Panter platoon want to attack US, but wait M-10 tank destroyer attack him and destroyed last Panters tanks!
US on the way to centre of village. German are rounting.
Battle of village is over. US are winners.
Yes, US victory, because German commanders deployed units far from self. Village did defend only AT gun with MMG and farm did defend only HQ. This can not stop all US forces which were concentrate to farm (on the close front). I do not know why, but German commander was not send Panters and armoured Panzer Grenadier Company to counter attack to farm. 3rd Grenadier Company can mount to tanks and go to attack!
