This is a rather large armor battle, but the Allies are severely limited by their force being nothing but light tanks. Ideally, they are pursuing a small German recon force which they can outgun, while the German III and IVs come to the rescue, but with a lack of setup restrictions for the Germans, they can start with the recon elements on the far side of the map. This removes any real chance for the Allies to score any kills. This leaves the only alternative for them being to dig in in positions that funnel the Germans into flanking shots, or their 18 lbers. But this is an easy trap to see and avoid.

The Germans advance with their IVs down the center, flanked by the IIIs which the Infantry moving along with the IVs in to deal with the 18s. Using the map edge, they cover their right from flanking shots and the Brits continually withdraw an displace but no opportunity presents itself. Eventually they run out of map and are wiped by the Germans.

The German IIs, Armored Cars, and Trucks stay in the rear safeguarded by their 88s as well, producing no easy kills.

Not really much they can do here. Balance is pretty awful. Rommel makes an appearance but ultimately does nothing of note, the overpowering tanks ruling the day.
