Rymbeld -> Tips on Defense? (9/6/2011 8:53:43 PM)

Hi,
I just got this game yesterday and it really is very cool. However, I could use some advice or tips. I'm trying my hand at the grand campaign, as the Russians, and in these early battles I'm getting wiped out.
One of the problems is that I simply don't have enough points to purchase enough units to even cover the front. What I find myself wanting to do is to stand my ground for about ten minutes, then flee the battle. Is this viable, early on?
For instance, in the very first battle, I'm supposed to defend a ford and a bridge. One strategy that seemed viable was to purchase a 50mm mortar and a rifle squad. I was able to keep the Germans at bay with that, at the ford, but then the crossed the bridge in force and I was flanked. And if the Germans bring an AFV, then I'm screwed. I can really only afford an ATR, but they don't seem all that effective...hard to pull off a kill with those (but they work great vs. infantry in buildings!).
Anyway, it's hard to have a mobile defense with only one squad on the board. Conscripts are cheap, but hardly worth it, since they start panicking almost immediately. But hey, if I just fight for ten minutes and flee, will they get some experience and improve?
