Points for Assault battle ?

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.

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

Hmm... and how is that different from what I stated? What you're thinking of on the east front is the german deployment on a 'strategic' scale that goes beyond the scope of most games. A defend battle in the game typically shows an attack on those german defensive postions, NOT the exploitation of a hole between positions (that would be a delay or ME). And those german defensive postions were typically either battalion sized or a couple of companies in close proximity. For standard games you'll usually have one (maybe two) such area's and for large games you can have a couple (my mirrored game with Seabolt was huge with five such battallion(-) sized positions).
They would be defending the important terrain, ie the flags. Which is another thing, most players in my experience don't defend the flags in a defend game but form a line well ahead of the flags; that's asking for trouble. Use a zone defense with your main postions directly on and around the flags and only some very expendable delaying forces in front! Than it doesn't really matter from which side he approaches the flags. And you have little need for AFV's as the attacker has no choice but to engage the main defenders in order to secure the flags. Some AFV's of course but no more than about a dozen per infantry battallion (including tanks, AG's, TD's, apc's and light armor). Often I don't even buy that. It's more than enough to make life real hard on the attacker.
