– PIAT first against vehicle heavy enemies and Bren first against infantry heavy enemies. – Give one PIAT and one Bren Gun to each IS as soon as you have the munitions for it.

Repair Station Upgrade at Forward Assembly.
Research medic upgrade for one Infantry Section. Your repair stations can fix your allies’ vehicles as well, so it’s good for team play. Furthermore the durability upgrade for emplacements and the counter battery will enable you to guard your mortar pits much better. Infantry fights are much easier thanks to the indirect fire, Tanks can get in and out of danger several times in short time windows thanks to the fast repair and you won’t need to waste any MP and population to get Royal Engineers. Repair Stations, constantly cover denying mortar pits and Infantry Sections that can build and repair forward assemblies offer so much useful utility. This tactic really excels on maps that have so small distances between two victory points that you can cover 2 VPs at the same time with each mortar emplacement. The “Turtle” tactic doesn’t use this build order. Furthermore you will have repair stations for vehicle repairs.
If you have chosen the Advanced Emplacement Regiment early enough, you don’t need Royal Engineers because you can build the Assembly with your Infantry Sections.
On maps with only very few choke points to defend you probably won’t need AECs and it is completely fine to use the 6-Pounders instead.
On some maps Vickers MGs are incredibly good at locking down some certain points of interest.
4 Infantry Sections (start section is included).
That’s how I usually start out with any commander:
