Operation: Overlord - Saint-Lô - US Rifle vs retreating Fallschirmjägers

Even though the Fallschirmjaegers repelled the attack from the Americans, they will not be able to hold on for much longer and plan for a withdrawal to improve the defenses in other sectors.

The same table as before, but fighting withdrawal this time. 

This time the Americans manage to use their smoke better and keep the Shermans alive. After some fierce fighting on the left flank, they manage to get close to one objective but it gets snagged before their noses. The Germans slip away but loose a platoon of Stugs in the process. A 5-2 victory for the Germans.
