Yes, you have to autoassign them. If they are still hostile to teams A and B then you probably have them set to the wrong player team. I thought it was A was Player 1 and B was player 2.

Auto Assigning is done something like:

You first take the units you want autoassigned, for example a squad of 8 men, and give them tags, hitting W in the F3 mode of the editor will bring up a list, one thing says "tag". Click tag and call them anything you want, but remeber which unit has which tag for later. If its a squad of Germans, you could call them "gersq1", short for German Squad 1, just for ease of order. Next, while in F3 mode and with noone selected, go to the "squad" tab which is on that big gray window on the right of the screen. With the squad tab opened select the units you just tagged as "gersq1" and make a squad, call that one the same as the tag, just for ease.

Next, while in F3 mode still, go to the triggers tab. There, make a new trigger up top, I usually call mine "coop_start". Then, select the coop_start tab and down at the bottom right click and make a delay of like 15. Then right click below the delay and make an autoassign tab. Then, click the autoassign tab, a window should pop up and you then put

Player: Player 1 (or whatever team the units are)
Tag: gersq1

Then hit Ok.

Below that autoassign, make another delay of like 0.2 and make anothe autoassign, which you would put in another unit that has been tagged and squaded up. You repeat this process until all units are autoassigned.

that is the only way I know to do it...its tedious and time consuming, especially for an undertaking like yours, 100s of men and lots of tanks lol. I did one that large only once on one of my defense missions.

Tanks can be squadded up adn autoassigned just like men, 8 at a time.

as for getting this to work in a regular MP battle, well, idk. You can hit F6 for weather and F9 for mission parameters, that has diplomacy settings, you can change them to maybe be friendly towards different players in game and what not.
