well that blows for me. Cause now i have germany with their massive heavy tank divisions right on and in my territories, and not enough AT to beat them back effectively when war comes.

Also, for anyone who plays men of war, i simply CANNOT beat the 5th mission in the soviet campaign, the penal colony, where you take the hill and defend it. I made a very sloppy mistake when i tried taking the hill, my only t34 got one-shotted by a pak i didnt see, and so when i captured the hill i had only the 2 paks and 3 AA guns left and 9 infantrymen (armed to the teeth with as many At grenades they can carry).

And after a few tries i finally held the hill with men still on top and defending when the timer hit 0. but I STILL lost the mission. I dont know why either, i held the hill. Am i supposed to attempt to protect the last stragglers of the armored convoy? Or can there simply not be germans on the hill when the timer goes down? Or am i supposed to eliminate them all before th e timer runs out?

Because ive tried twice, succeeding both times in defending the hill and i STILL cannot win the mission.
