Holding the Line

Battle Academy has the potential to be a fantastic turn-based game, if only for a few items (I am sure I will have more later): 1) in this scenario, a column of Sherman's are assaulted by an infantry of Germans. REALLY? One unit of infantry "assaults" a column of tanks? 2) the infantry cannot approach villages because of German infantry in buildings. Okay, that's real. But without any artillery, the amount of high explosive shells the tanks must fire into the buildings to force the Germans to retreat exceeds their normal TO&E load of HE. 3) Has anyone been able to WIN this scenario? I have tried a careful approach to limit casualties and could not capture the far flags. I went crazy and BONZAI'ed and took horrific casualties. ADVICE would be appreciated. ------ thanks.

---- disregard..... "Operator head-space error." I was NOT counting the flags the allies already held.
