The battle was a bit of a fizzer in that the Italians simply rushed their armour down the road, successfully risking the a/car's fire, pushed through the infantry on the road, & took the objective on turn 2.
So to make John's trip over the river worthwhile we backtracked & the Italians made a more measured attack, trying to knock out the a/car before charging. Despite having an a/car, a tank & an ATR v. 1 a/car the Italians lost the duel & their infantry attack couldn't reach the objective before time ran out. The British flank attack of a Buffalo full of troops was late coming on & it too couldn't reach the objective in time. So the re-run was a draw.
It's probably not a good idea to put the objectives next to a road across the table in this scenario. This can mean the game can finish too soon if a risky attack succeeds, or else peter out to a draw if it doesn't.

Yes indeed putting a base on a road is rather sub-optimal as the enemy tank can run 36" onto the base and the enemy infantry cannot stop it and they cannot assault a running vehicle in their turn either.
One point to note it is the owning player that actually places the base so you do not have to place it on a road.
