Paul,
Agreed, as I said it makes no difference.

Guards had a captured map, showing enemy positions, but did not know if it was reliable. POW stated that orders were to guard the road. The road was high above ground, even with a lower profile, Cromwells would suffer the same fate.
Rushing ahead at speed with WG would not mean any different outcome. They were not invisible. As for the air and artillery support, which I would argue was the most important aspect, would that have been any different?
