If your deployment is in the upper right corner of the map it's a huge disadvantage.
Well, that's why you should use the FIRE command with your vital units, to check your LOS in deployment mode, BEFORE you hit "Begin".
The upper right corner isn't that bad, as you can move tanks or MG teams up that hill (middle, upper part of the map, at the victory location south of your vehicle crew).
If the AI deploys Infantry on that acre in the west, south of the 2 US vic locations, there's almost no chance to boot them out of this area without supporting tanks, as you have to cross open terrain if you try a frontal attack. If you try to attack from the south, from the river bed right through the light wood, you get a proper LOS/LOF only if you make it as close as 10 or 20 meters to the enemy's inf troops crouching up there. Without tanks, only a mass attack from these woods - Russian style - [:D] brings decent results, well, with "Russian" casualty rates, hehe.
