Re: GB20 "To the Right" How Did You Beat it?

Ok I'm stumped. I just finished my 14th attempt at this scenario and still no luck. I have literally swept the field every single time but I haven't managed to get anything higher than 6750.
I generally set up two brigades to the right of the road, one occupying the stone wall ahead of the line and the second with its right flank anchored on BRT. I place two more brigades to the left of the road along the fence line. This leaves one brigade in reserve behind the farmhouse and the other brigade defending the northern slope of LRT, to the left of III Corps. I bring up all three batteries to the front, placing one on the left flank, one at the farmhouse/stone wall, and one near BRT.
About 20-30 minutes in, the Reb attack breaks up and I counterattack with the brigade in reserve, usually throwing it into the middle to exploit the gap in the Reb line there. Usually by the 40-minute mark, I'll have swept the ground on my left flank and turn up toward BRT. I've been able to clear the cornfield every single time and usually my remaining regiments are cresting BRT from the east when the scenario ends.
What am I doing wrong?
