Famous WW2 Quote
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time."Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, at Guadalcanal

FEW AGAINST MANY, TANKS A LOT:
Tanks are not effective in urbar areas, they could be boxed in, and ambushed, defenders would seperate the infantry from the tanks
and throw a few Molotov Cocktails from the roofs of buildings at the lead and rear tank, blocking the rest in.
CAN'T FIGHT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE:
The burning liquid spills on the hot engine grills, ignite fuel and hydraulic fluids and ammunition. Other agents have been used to help the fuel burn and stick to the tanks hull, while other agents create a thick choking smoke many crews.
Crews couldn't see or fight back because of the smoke, machine guns or main gun couldn't elevate high enough to fire, crews would fire blind and try to move out of the kill zone.
After using Molotov Cocktails, the defenders armed with anti-tank weapons, could knock out the whole column if they have the time
and other defenders keep the infantry pinned down.
Tanks need open ground, to be effective and keep moving, with the infantry able to protect the flanks.
