Question Advise needed - Campaign "Sturmgeschütz Brigade 276"

Has anyone tried it with the latest version?
I failed already in the first battle, no clue how you can achieve enough points to get at least the minor victory progress in this campaign

I think main problem is time, first battle is only 11 turns long and that means risky movements to get something done but that also leads to higher losses but in that way I can't get the point advantage for a minor victory.
11 as visibility does also not help as I have to get really close to see something and that deletes the advantage of the StuGs to fight the enemy with superior accuracy.

Besides that I also wonder if the core units are set correctly, scenario talks of a battery of StuGs but around the time(9/43) a battery should be 10 not 6 StuGs like the current setup is.


The additional troops I put together for the battle were:
-StuG Zug /3 with StuG III G
-2x PzGrZug gep (a)
-2x Spaehtrupp(the one with the Panzerfaust)
-2x PzH 18 Wespe

Didn't go bad but lost 2 StuGs and in the end didn't have enough time to wipe out the Russians and get the objectives, I barely made some points more than the enemy, not even close to the 2x advantage I need for a minor victory.

Next attempt went worse, this time with a setup without artillery and more infantry and the attempt to get them by going in from the south. Moving off the road already took many turns to get into position south of the village.

So any advise is very welcome.
