Movment order with pause question

RE: Movment order with pause question
The only example I can think of that might be of help is that infantry will not dismount as long as the vehicle they're on still has a movement order, although teams like panzerfaust will. I recall a long time ago having infantry and panzerfaust on trucks that had reached a point I was content with having them dismount from. On the next turn (the trucks had already stopped), I gave each truck a pause command (clicking twice for 20 seconds), and then a reverse command. At the same time, panzerfaust teams and infantry squads got disembark commands--figuring the 20+ seconds was plenty of time for everyone to get off. On the movement turn, the panzerfaust teams disembarked before the trucks reversed out of the area, but the infantry remained mounted--to my horror--and they rode back with the trucks, unable to protect the panzerfaust teams who got wiped out shortly later.

I was told I should have given the infantry disembark commands before the trucks even started forward, and that they would have stayed put till the trucks stopped at whatever destination I'd given them.

I hope this was clear.
