HQ/A CO - All of the HQ platoon fires into the hex at 17/D3 and discovers a Russian 81mm Mortar and crew hiding in the woods. The Russians break under heavy machine gun fire and go to ground. They are unable to return fire. Slowly the HQ Platoon advances to the East towards some covering brush.

1st Plt/A CO - Advances moves out toward the building at 17/I8 and into the cover afforded by a nearby stone wall. They quickly go to cover as they spot Russian Infantry in the woods at 17/F3 but the activity they thought they saw in the brush at 17/G3 turns out to be nothing ("?" removed).

2nd Plt/A CO - Launches a volley of 50mm mortar rounds at the building at 17/O6 but all the rounds go wide. 2nd SQ advances to the woodline at 17/P8 and spot Russian Infantry moving around in the building at 17/P4 but do not come under fire from them.

3rd Plt/A CO - With the exception of 2nd SQ advances East into the building at 17/I8 and surrounding woods. 2nd SQ advances Southeast to the woods at 17/M9 and comes under repeated fire from a Russian 37mm ATG in the building at 17/O6. Luckily they are only pinned, take no casualties and do not break.

HQ/B CO - Fires at Hex 17/AA7 and discovers an SU-76M hidden in the woods causing no damage. The SU-76m returns fire with 2 rounds but also causes no damage.

1st Plt/B CO - Advances East into the woods and the ATR takes a flank shot at the newly found SU-76m. The round hits but causes no damage. They also discover that there are no enemy in 17/DD6 ("?" removed).

2nd Plt/B CO - Advances Northeast into the woods. 1st SQ is fired on by a Russian Infantry in the building at 17/S6. No damage is done. 1st SQ returns fire but it is equally ineffective. As 2nd-3rd SQ creep up to the woodline they find the building at 17/R5 is empty ("?" removed).

3rd Plt/B CO - Advances East across the road toward the plowed field and comes under heavy Russian machine gun and rifle fire from the buildings at 17/S4 and 17/W4 but fortunately find the building at 17/U5 is empty ("?" removed). 1st SQ breaks under fire just as they cross the road but the rest of the platoon is able to continue the advance into the field in the direction of the building at 17/Z7. They rout back to Lt MS but are unable to be rallied.
