Where are the tubes?
V1 placed a lot of emphasis on Tanks and on ATGMS. What should have had as much (or more) Artillery and mortars at 120mm and above.
Artillery is the King of Battle without which your defense or attack fails before it ever began. World War One taught everyone the worst thing is to sit huddled in your bunker as your position is relentlessly pounded with tons of HE for days.
I would think that surviving Divisions and Brigades hold on because their artillery battery (ies) survive along with a Fire Direction center and forward observers.
Free cities and enclaves, as well, because they are able to hit back projecting force miles and miles (kilometers) from their walled defense.
