No waypoints - all navigation is normal AI pathfinding.

Matildas and the 25 pounder are your assets. All other UK armour is hunksajunk which have to hide and/or use rough hexes (or enemy vehicle dug in areas) to have a hope of surviving. The 2 pdr gun can whack German armour on the lighter Panzers, esp from the side where all their mediums are vulnerable - sniping on their flanks from 1000-1200m+ is a favourite cruiser tank tactic of mine. I'll pop up from behind a hill and snapshot at them, returning to cover if fired at, out of shots, or the Jerry turns to face me. (Once the later Pz3s with 6 and more front armour appear then flank sniping is the only valid British tactic till the 6pdr and US 75mm arrives). Or just dump a shed-load of 25pdr indirect on any concentration of armour.

Matildas have to be a bit wary of the German 5cm Pz 3s, esp any with a supply of APCR. (The German armour is an assorted bunch, as was the case for the DAK). Actually, I have lost Matildas to the 3.7cm APCR at ~1 hex too... And Panzer II can whack an A13 if lucky.

The Italian AT rifle is a 20mm job, which can deal with the lighter hunksajunk as well, so be careful if using Mk VI to hose down any troops. Italian 47mm guns can deal with all armour bar Matilda, and the 75mm Ansolado does a nice number on those at under 1Km.

UK has only soft MT, no APCs bar carriers, so has to be wary of any 20mm FLAK and machine guns if moving mounted.

The scenario is doable for the UK player, provided he does not simply do a headlong tank charge with his cruisers towards Point 206... He has 50 turns, and will have to deal with the counter attacks before exploiting through the wreckage of these.

Probably the best way to get to point 206 is an infantry and I tank combined arms advance with massed arty support along the high road while 7 brigade secures the South. So don't waste too many I tanks mopping up Hellfire pass.
