You don't have to have a tank battalion to fight. Think more like Janjaweed militia on both sides. The Islamic fellahin dug in to defend the village (Green 1 leader with Yellow 2 followers, high motivation) against the marauding Sikh herdsmen who object to the loss of their carefully terraformed grasslands (mostly Blue 2's, medium motivation).
