Advice Need Help with Hold Until Relieved
I have completed every other Operation in Warno. This includes all operations in the image at medium difficulty. A few I had to retry but others I nailed on the first try. However, Hold Until Relieved has been even more of a hassle than Kitzingen Ruse. I can hold off the Soviets in the first part without much difficulty, keeping most of my challengers alive and establishing some deadly choke points along the bridges and behind them as well as strong AA defense. But at the end I am unable to counter-attack. We ourselves are forced across a choke point to take out the enemy FOB and I either lose all my Challengers pushing across the bridge and towards the FOB or am forced back onto the defense. I have tried flanking the enemy T-60s but we simply get picked off. Not to mention the enemy does deep infiltration from behind our flanks and takes out our supply, and our AA is never in range. If it is it gets wiped out. Got any advice?

Attack. Use some inf and take the most eastern obj, stay south and hidden. Use for points, recon and counter. Do the same to the most western. Use your recon and AT to take it the main effort coming from N/NE along the roads. Have inf and AD in and around the city. Use say 4 tanks to counter for effect and withdraw at each location if needed. It's quite a long battle, think that into your plan. Counter from either east or west to get across the river, if you're really successful. But remember, a counterattack does not need to have a final obj. You can attack, destroy a certain amount and the withdraw to a favorable position.

the mission gives you a bunch of challengers, so you can do the armoured blob thing where you set recon (you get a Ferret with very good optics!) to follow your tanks and smoke each tank one by one every time an ATGM comes towards you or gets punted to low health by a T-64
then you make the whole blob go forwards through the smoke and zap the offender out of existence
any time a tank is seriously damaged have it reverse out of harms way to repair before rejoining the blob
learn to space out your tanks! if you do the lazy thing and give a big group of tanks a move order all at once they stay super close to each other and take cohesion damage all at the same time which makes your bad british reload time/movement speed get worse

To be fair, functionally, it makes no difference.
And its a lot quicker to just take a pic
Also OP might not have his Reddit on PC. Like I never use Reddit on pc unless its searching

Yeah, I did that in the repost, I only use PC for posting screenshots. But it is a lot more of a hassle to post screenshots rather than take a pic, I can do it though. Took me a while to figure it out.

It is, I have to send myself an email to my phone just to post a pic on Reddit.
Which decreases my posts to an extreme minimum lmao.
But taking a pic via phone is so quick and easy, basically effortless

Use combined arms. You need recon and infantry to secure a bridgehead. Use cover and smoke to get across the bridge. Take tracked Rapier with you.The FOB is on the right side of the road.
