Britisch need to assault and have a hard time doing it. Especially on HSLAN where the Axis side is usually a little more organized(late afternoon). If a Axis has a pnz III with a good sl its almost impossible to take church, hold it and go for outskirtst since the pnzIII, if any good, will hold east uphill, wait till german reinforcements get from the south to outskirts and just roll in and decimate infantry round the church.
That said, if squads on british side would spread out and coordinate to take church and outskirts arout the same time, push immediatley to the MG heaven where the Sherman will hold at outskirts, brits will have an easier time.
Imo its one way or another, if one team fails, they usually fail bigtime, there is no in between. Either one team get wiped, or the other ^^.
