It wasn't that big.  The attacking force was an ad hoc
batallion (1 company each mech infantry, medium tanks,
heavy tanks, scout platoon, mortar platoon, artillery
battery, engineer platoon, and IIRC some aviation)
against a hodgepodge of defending forces amounting to
2 batallions or so.  With a good block minefield group
in, which nicely channellized the attackers.

Well, the attackers had pretty much broken through the
main line of resistance.  The defenders might have won
if they had mustered a counterattack and rolled really
well, but it was unlikely.
