Hello there!
So; I'm an avid Close Combat fan, and out of all the games in the franchise, Last Stand Arnhem is in my personal opinion one of the better iterations of it. That being said, I am currently doing a playthrough of it for youtube. Now, I've played these games since the 90s, and overall racked up more hours of game-time spread across the various iterations of it than any sane human should. I suppose a good side-effect of this is that I am quite experienced with the games at this point in time!
I'm playing on Elite difficulty, and given the chance, I always try to make things as hard and challenging for myself in each and every battle, barring stifling myself intentionally. Since you can edit your opponent's troop composition, I will always replace redundant units with useful ones, and if he for some reason isn't fielding as much armour as he could, I will make sure he does, so that my challenge increases, and his chances of winning increases with it. I know the AI isn't a he/she, but sometimes it feels better to humanize my computer adversary!
I will start off playing through the grand campaign with the Allies, and afterwards I'll go through it with the Germans. I'll update this post with a link for the German playthrough when it's out there!
At the time of writing this, there are 24 episodes currently out, but more will come rapidly, and by the time you read this, there is a good chance the playthrough is finished!
Links follow below:
Hope you'll enjoy! Don't be afraid of leaving a comment or subscribing - it truly makes my day when people do!
Have a good one!

And yeah, hehe, you're absolutely right there, so thanks for the tip. - I've been using this strategy more in the playthrough as the game progresses, but I simply didn't come to think of it early on, as I personally have not been using a lot of mortars when playing this game, as I'm not a huge fan of the lottery aspect of them. 
(I know, I butchered that sentence) (also, I am finding out that mortars in LSA can be ridiculously viable. They're a bit OP even at times, if you ask me. Like... ridiculously effective. Some serious shrapnel on these badboys)
