Hi,
I looked the scenario and I tried to play the first turn.
He are my conclusions:
The scenario is playable (not hard) and the best tactical approach is a double wing assault from the two extreme edges of the map (upper and lower).
Before attacking you should concentrate your forces in the two extreme positions in order to achieve the biggest possible concentration
Before attacking you must advance your infantry (you have a lot of it) as close as possible to the front lines of the enemy.
Make good use of several snipers in the lower part of the map.
Don't start your attack until you are ready to start it, meaning that everyone must be in designated positions.
Prepare your artillery strikes in order to provide cover, smoke screen and suppressing fire to the enemy units.
Use your air assets as a support weapon in order to kill the enemy from long range.
Once the front lines are breached continue to the rear and leave minimum forces (infantry to deal with the rest of the front line VP locations)
You shouldn't start your assault before turn 3-6, you must be ready for it and your infantry (scouts,snipers) should advance close to the enemy positions in order to spot who is shooting at you.
I will help you more by quoting some military maxims from Napoleon and John Frederick Charles Fuller:
Napoleon's Military Maxim #16
Quote:
A well-established maxim of war is not to do anything which your enemy wishes and for the single reason that he does so wish. You should, therefore, avoid a field of battle which he has reconnoitered and studied. You should be still more careful to avoid one which he has fortified and where he has entrenched himself. A corollary of this principle is, never to attack in front a position which admits of being turned.

By Major General John Frederick Charles Fuller:
Quote:
...The principle of the Objective-the true objective being that point at which the enemy may be most decisively defeated ; generally is this point is to be found along the line of least resistance. The principle of Mass-that is, concentration of strength and effort at the decisive point. The principle of the Offensive ; the principles of Security, Surprise, and Movement (i.e. rapidly). *
From these elements I evolved four elementary principles, namely (i.) From mind, the principle of the objective.
(ii.) From protection, the principle of security.
(iii.) From weapons, the principle of the offensive.
(iv.) And from movement, the principle of mobility.
I next postulated a law, which I called "The Law of the Conservation of Military Energy," and from it extracted four accentuating principles of war, namely (i.) The principle of surprise.
(ii.) The principle of economy of force.
(iii.) The principle of concentration of force.
(iv.) And the principle of co-operation.
