TACTICAL ADVICE
Keep moving your tanks to make them a hard target.
From the plain tanks aim better than aim moving through mountains.
Surround the enemy so that all your units can shoot.
Try to divide the enemy in order to they have inactive units, while you shoot with all your units. Divide et impera.
Shoot to a group of enemy tanks from the cliff, to attract them, and when they approach, another group of yours tanks must be ready to destroy them.
