I'm not even sure if this is possible. I haven't been in the shop for some time, so I don't know what's there. Bugger.
The Allies have four tanks. The Germans have four half-tracks with MG-42's, and four Anti-Tank guns, or arty pieces, depending on what is available in the shop. The Germans control The church on the middle right side of the field. It has a tower with two stories, with windows on all floors looking in three directions. The roof is accessible via staircase, which opens up a trap door to the roof.
Let's say a German mortar team in the bombed out area of the church.
As I'm not sure how extensive the shop is, I just added a tank for the Germans. Lets say a Panzer IV at the most. If possible, drop the tank and add four mobile arty.
The northern part of the map is rocky, with an unscalable ridge at the allied starting point. The germans are already on the cliff on the far right, which is about fifty feet high and only scalable from the south. In between is an unclaimed which is also scaled from the south, and is about firty feet high. A vineyard lies in the mid-left of the map, in about five feet high rows.
The Germans have a small advantage in numbers.

I was bored. And imagining the sheer nightmare the mods would have with this one. xD
I dont think 'Nightmare' would be the right term for this map... maybe... 'Horror show with werewolfs hacking up people with chainsaws' might come a little closer...?

"Small advantage in numbers"? You mean number of vehicles and heavy weapons, and you even mention adding mobile arty for the Axis (WOW). The NPC numbers aren't very mismatched at 156 to 160 (Not including anyone inside a tank or half-track). Course there is really no point in me making this point as I fear there are very VERY few people that can team up to create these numbers. Freakin awesome map though dude!!
If anyone wants to use it, I could get a clear version for you.
I think the shermans could rush forth and tear up the half-tracks before the art does anything, and send in the infantry in one massive wave to push through the German infantry to take out the arty. The only real trouble I see would have been the tower and the cliff. If the arty took out the allied tanks, the infantry would have one hell of a time displacing the germans dug in there, all the while under fire from the mortar crew.
As American riflemen have M1 Garands, and the Germans have the K98, the allies have significant firepower advantage with their infantry.
Just a little situation I've played out in my head.
Anyways...
It would be kick-a to see a nice big battle played out here. Not quite so many, but a good 30-40 each would be sweet!
