As the Allies approached 0409 the Gren platoon in 0412 moved up to the village in 0509. The Allies lost a step on the approach when the Axis rolled a 12 on opportunity fire. Having no choice the Allies assaulted anyway. It was a seesaw battle for a while with neither side gaining much of an advantage. Then on several rolls the Allies lost another step and then lost another when a demoralized platoon again became demoralized. By 1045 the Allies were all but wiped out. Two leaders were lucky to escape the assault hex on lone leader rolls. Axis victory. Good thing that the Russian "Volunteers" were not as motivated in real life as in this scenario. D-Day would have been much more costly.
