Tactics
The HQ will stay back with my artillery and 1 Armored squadron holding my objective while the Lorried Rifle company and other armoured squadron attack. The motor company will go wherever it looks like I need them, possibly taking up a defensive position in cover.

HI.
I am new player, and have only played a few games.Just a few thoughts and ideas....

1x 50 cal AA per platoon .(I usualy put in on my command tank.)
Having 4 50 cal AA with the HQ with 2 Crusader AA is a bit of a waste .(IMO.)

I would drop the Motor Platoon and 2 shermans from the HQ, and replace them with another Combat platoon of Sherman V with a VC.

If the HQ is hanging back defencivley near the Arty.Then 2 Sherman V and 2 Crusader AA is fine.

The Motor platoon is a bit fragile if used on its own. Regular infantry is the most cost effective unit for holding an objective.(They can ride on tanks to get to an objective if you want to/can drop the lorry transport.)

I Don't have the turning the tide book.
(I use the 11th Armoured Division/1st Polish Armoured Division PDFs for my army.)So this may be a bit off.
