Well I've finally got back to the game and the troops finally got into action as they realised that each other was there. The Americans took the first casualties as there jeep crew was hit and pinned down on the main street , opened fire on by numerous German stuff.
The Americans headed straight for the nearest cover with the Germans doing the same and a long fire fight starting up.
