I am not fond of the idea of grouping up anyway, the enemy is superior in about every way and I don't want to risk them taking everything out at once. The tankettes are on the East to begin with to help out that flank because it has the most exposed retreat, but they should not take risks initially because I think they would be better served making hell if any enemy tank comes into the densely packed center area.
I don't know what that big compound is but it looks like as fine a place for a final holdout as any, should it come to it.
