Situation: 
Your company of 2A4s was detached from your battalion to a neighboring sector where there was a Motorized compnany that was struggling with their objective of holding the town of Soltau in the face of repeated enemy bombardments and assaults with both mechanized and armoured forces, that of which has been reduced to slightly more than a platoon. Brigade command has assessed that the enemy will continue to grind away at the forces of Soltau and directly instructed Battalion to detach a company minus of 2A4s and Marders to help with the defense by acting as a QRF for the Motorized platoon that remains holding the outskirts of the town. 
 
And thus here you stand, awaiting the artillery barrage that signals that the enemy is about to begin yet another major attack. 
 
Recon and Weather: 
Recon reports a reinforced battalion of Mechanized infantry and a depleted battalion of tanks en route to 3 different staging areas, with the recently observed routes of attack from the aforementioned staging areas marked on the map. Recon reports that the tanks bear the same insignia as the mechanized, and are thus most likely both part of the enemy Guards Motor Rifle brigade in the area. Recon expects an attack to commence within the next 10 minutes, and they assess that a majority of the enemy units will be using route Charlie.
 
"Cloudy day today over southeastern Germany, with some thunderstorms rolling in in about an hour's time. Hail is possible with this cluster of thunderstorms here(...), Cities that could be affected include(...)Soltau,(...)" 
 
Mission: 
Defend the city of Soltau while acting as a QRF for the units of B company, defending the HQ from enemy breakthroughs at all costs. Battalion suggests to quickly crush enemy recon segment so that more forward positions can be used.
 
Assets: 
2 Platoons of 2A4s
2 Platoons of Marder 1A3s 
1 Platoon of Motorized spread across the 3 checkpoints (AI unless trigger used) under the 1B callsign
2 ARVs 
4 Logi Trucks

Well it was roughly 24 hours ago, so that maybe a bit difficult.
