The German defenders were positioned in the lower town, with a HMG and INF dug in one hex to the north. The French attacked from the north and northwest, with their armored cars moving east and then south to control the upper town (at the south edge of the map). The German defense was aided by the French artillerists' complete inability to hit the broad side of a barn. The French and Germans exchanged sharp fire throughout the three hours, with the French hoping that the Germans would break. But the Germans persevered, seemingly through sheer force of will; a French assault on the town's northeast corner very nearly succeeded.

It was a close-run thing with the final score favoring the Germans 14-10.
