You don't need all of your force to win this battle. Scouts, snipers, 2 platoons of infantry and 2 tanks is really all you need. And of course choppers and arty. The rest of your troops you can keep hidden as a reserve out of the troubles way. I you wish, I can send you a detailed AAR using RT and iron skill level. Casualties 3 dead, 11 wounded, one LAV. No cheating.
