@22:27 I would not take Mobile Warfare for Czechoslovakia as I disagree that they have the industrial capacity for that. You are struggling to build enough light tanks to just fill the under sized divisions you have, let alone build out multiple divisions of full-strength Medium Tanks divisions with mechanized support infantry and SPG's and anti-tank tanks. Just to build out 5 or so divisions would likely take at least 20-30 factories just for the tanks and another 5 to 10 each for the SPG's and Anti-Tanks. Best bet is Superior Fire Power. And it does have mobile bonuses too once you start to get down the tree. If you go Sup Fire Power then the question is do you go Dispersed or Integrated. I guess, that depends on whether you want your arty to be as Support companies or as Line arty. 1 thing to keep in mind is that, for your boarder defense, that is going to mostly be in the mountains. Mountains have a optimal combat width of 25. So you may want your even your non-mountaineer divisions to be combat width 25.
It is possible that your promotion of Democracy in Austria prevented them from progressing in their tree and stopping the Anschluss. Sudetenland is coming soon; you will need to build up your forts along the border and fast. At least lvl 3 on every tile bordering with Germany.
motorized recon was a mistake until you have the trucks. The reason you don't have the trucks is because you can only used the trucks you researched for support companies. The trucks you started with can only be used for supply. You only had 27 trucks available to use for motorized Recon and needed 500. So now all your divisions are understrengthed and will get a penalty for fighting that will outweigh the benefit of having the recon company.
@immersioneer yes, they made a change a while back, and level 1 trucks can only be used for supply. You have to research level 2 trucks to use them for support companies.
You should build state-based AA as a priority to help against the German air superiority that they will have and get AA guns into your units as fast as possible, otherwise German cas will destroy your units.
England needs a bit of a rework. When they go Fascist, they should leave the Allies (and form a new alliance) and communist countries should not be able to join either the Allies nor the Axis. Sweden has the Nordic Council tree and as such, it should not be able to join either the Allies nor the Axis is if it is not Fascist or Democratic.
Oh boy, the situation looks grim
Yup… it won’t be pretty…
@28:23 To see what you learned from the spy operation you just completed; you need to click on the Intel Ledger tab on this screen

Are you saying there is a different type of truck for recon vs supply? Or am I missing something?
