I think it can be done:
It is certainly doable. Just hard.
I mostly agree with that. I still think that having bunkers and forgoing artillery and especially on-map mortars was a mistake committed in the purchase screen, although it might have made difference only in the cost I would have to pay for taking the map. But Titan's ability to move his defenders around and recycle units again and again has been quite frustrating. As @Nemesis said, he is an excellent mobile defender.

On the contrary - the tanks took out four HMG positions that would be difficult to crack for the infantry alone. I just keep them at safe distance, so they are not showing in the screenshot. There was no good reason for pushing them closer.
Right one, that was the idea, ambush..make him pause and then fall backI got $50 that says those troops are very high quality, accuracy and reaction like that isn't seen with anything less. The strategy is pretty good too, ambush and fall back, ambush and fall back, this way he can get the most bang for his buck from his expensive troops and wear down your morale and eat up time.
Just my 2c but in this situation I'd be concentrating forces on one side with the majority of your armour to punch through en masse with lots of supporting area fire, have a blocking force in the centre to prevent him from attacking your flank, then when he either attempts to attack the blocking force or fall back, have another smaller force at the north of the map to push in there. He either has to retreat or be caught in a pincer.
Good DAR so far though, really enjoying it.
Actually, when I said "absurdity", I meant it in comparison to what I see happening everywhere else on the battlefield - I am in no position to judge if it is realistic. In CM, hundreds of rounds are expended to make just a few kills. And here one guy with a SMG fired 6, 7 and 3 rounds from 200 meters at a HQ team in a bunker to get the 1st, 2nd and 3rd kill (the 3rd was in the next turn). No spraying was involved. Praying - maybe
This is definitely a bug or a glitch. When pixeltruppen stand up to fire the MG from the bunker, they become extremely exposed (not visibly, but behind the scenes in the game) and easy to kill. The protection of the bunker just doesn't count at that point, at least from some angles. One kill would be a fluke, three kills using 16 rounds within about 20 seconds are a clear pattern.
Here is the situation from the perspective of the shooter:
The defender is really up against it here, game ended in Drifters favour with just four turns left, some things i could have done differently that could of made a difference, but that also causes the opponent to react and do differently as well. When i attacked i was rather agressive anf lost alot more than Drifter did but won alot more comfortably as far as time goes. My Assesment of this is perhaps 90 Minutes is long for this battle and perhaps 75min is proabably a better option and gives the defender a realistic chance of hanging in there. I won our game within that period but took alot more chances. Drifter won with just 4 turns left but he did play with the time in mind and his style was a cautious one taking less risks and taking his time taking out my strong points. The attacker needs to be under more pressure with this map and i think 75minutes would balance things more so perhaps still in attackers favour but the defender with a well thought out plan still has a good chance as opposed to very little chance as it is now
I'd say that the comparison of how we managed our time is not entirely fair here. I was aware that I had plenty of time available, so I took my time to advance methodically against the last objective. I could have rushed it - I had a 10:1 advantage in manpower. But I did not want to take the extra losses when there was no need to rush: I see no advantage in finishing early if it costs me more. I wasn't that far behind you in the other game when it comes to schedule.
