@JDOW:

Well, I just remember the Java battle and the good US/UK dice last turn.
But that was really not planned. You might get lucky and clear the zone but not with 3 tanks remaining. That must be as extreme as the Java outcome.

Yeah Sir, Crazy dice.

To be honest my goal was to attack one round to eliminate the Aa gun and 1 or 2 inf. On the second I was deliberating if retrait my units.

As you said this compensates what happened in Java.
