30x50 is what 1.5km by 2.5km?

If a soviet company or battalion was fighting in an area with ATGMs and other heavy weapons, that were un-suppressed they would dismount under cover 1.5km away from the enemy line and move on foot.
I know exactly the trouble your having since most of my games take place during this time. But the advice other people gave is true, 30 by 50 is too small a map size for mounted tactics. you should try playing on 80x100.
In my current game, I had to have infantry armed with RPGs and atgms, move at least 500m infront of tanks and vehicles clearing out ATGMs pockets. any spotted atgms would also be targated for artillery. It worked fairly well. when the enemy ATGMs where taken care of my tanks and APCs could continue moving forward again.
There is always the chance of a suprise ATGM attack, but you have to accept some losses. In the same game, It looked as if everything was clear and the enemy was in retreat, I moved some tanks forward and 2 TOW missles where fired.

I think most people tend to play on FAR too large of a map for smaller point battles. The idea of a company of WarPact troops attacking across multiple kilometers of frontage is highly unrealistic IMO. Frontage for a MR Company on the assault would be closer to 500m, not 1500m. Anything larger would be ridiculously oversized.

I agree to. If he moves to a larger map size he needs to play with a battalion sized force. I normally don't have companies operating more than 500m frontage. and I rarely seperate platoons, unless one is acting as a reserve.
