I forgot that I had played this scenario 10 years ago, but in reviewing my old AAR it looks like almost the same thing happened again. The US Armored Cavalry sprang another ambush, which initially looked like it might go poorly. The US tanks and tank destroyers again shot very poorly and were nearly wiped out. But their fortunes changed as the Soviets failed to finish them off. Ultimately, the speed of the M18s saved them, and the US infantry were very effective at mauling the Soviet infantry as they filtered forward to try to break the roadblock. This time around it was a major US victory.
