For ww2 games in particular you should not forget that mobile formations have little place in a defend battle. The vast majority of defend missions are static battles which should be fought with infantry and supported by non-mobile units. You don't need many AFV's at all.

Erh are you sure. Certainly Eastern front used extensivly by Germans.
Defensive line of infantry & ATGs is static with holes purposely left for exploitation. Tanks placed 1-2 miles back to avoid arty & counter attack the break through. They did this normaly totaly without support & a good 10% of commanders broke doctrine & allowed enemy far into the rear. The further in the less chance of getting back out.

When asked by Americans to set up a defence for the Hoff Gap (present day) the Americans could not believe how far they wanted the Soviets to run down the Autostrade before countering. Current plans are a conservative version of this

Armored formations obviosly as Germans had very little spare armour with which to support infantry formations, A few StuGs if lucky
