This one is interesting and I didn't see it posted. Playing the standard campaign, I had my base in central united america with only enough small arms and standard armor to equip my squad. Went to a mission in Berlin, fought successfully with one loss, and flew back to base. Just over (what was France) I got ambushed and lost the dropship. As I was refitting my dropship and new soldiers, I realized all of the small arms was still in storage and not lost with the lost dropship.
