Home guard and Armour?

OK, if Sealion would have been launched what of the armor would have defended the coast in a first wave/line? The tank brigades or the "independent"/single regiments? Were tanks thought to break the first wave(s) of german landing forces at all? Or were tanks thought as a hold back force to counter any breakthrough somewhere?

Or if the former questions can´t be answered - How was the probability as a german to face Cruisers (A9 till A13) and/or Mathildas/Valentines in 1941 during the landing? I don´t need the exact percentage but maybe an about ratio of Mathildas/Valentines to Cruisers.

In every case I´m very thankful for Your answers, Steel God! It´s hard to find such information.

Have a nice weekend!

Buy a copy of JTS Sea Lion 40.  It has a very detailed OOB for what the British had to repel an invasion in September 1940.  The armor available to them is what you might expect in 1940;  RTRs sported the Matildas (I's and II's), but no Valentines yet.  The Hussars would have the Mk VI Light tanks, and the armored Brigades would have the Cruisers (A9 to A13),  No armor was deployed forward,most of it was kept centrally located near the CHQ line west of London until they could determined where the main landings were.
