This should help explain how DLC 43 campaign works:

<r> Well we see right under this thread that some players are struggling with the difficulty. Hard to justify making the AI smarter and harder in light of that.<br/> <URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3080601"><LINK_TEXT text="tm.asp?m=3080601">http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm....

<t> This is the hard path of DLC 1942, the other choice to remain in Stalingrad instead of breaking out is the easier campaign path.<br/> <br/> If you are really struggling with this hard mode scenario, you can sort of withdraw from the field. At the start of the scenario, just don't deploy your COR...

<r> Yup, we're aware of this:<br/> <URL url="http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=125&t=30310&start=20"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 0&start=20">http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=125&t=30310&start=20</LINK_TEXT></URL><br/> ...

<r> Yes, this was a common concern brought up about the stock campaign, primarily the Bagration, Balaton, and Germany scenarios.<br/> <br/> If you are interested in more content, I highly recommend the DLC campaigns for this very reason. The AI has been configured to use a MUCH wider array of equipm...

<t> Maximum unit strength is tied directly to unit experience. 1 Star unit has a max of 11, 2 star max is 12, and so on. The Soviet units, however, don't follow the same rules. The conscript infantry is the primary example of over-strengthed units that do not match their experience rating, and the D...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: James Ward<br/> <br/> After 2 turns the AI can start deploying next to cities it has re-captured so all those units didn't necessarily spawn out of thin air. <br/> <br/> I thought this was one of the best scenarios in the game.

I had no idea 4 understrength, basic French infantry units could cause so much trouble.
Well at least there's that 'restart scenario' feature now.&nbsp;

Well the problem is they don't actually appear out of thin air, people not conducting proper recon on their flanks only gives that illusion.  All the French reinforcements actually come from 'off board' or the edge hexes.

1.05 added 7 Russian units.

That FlaK unit is on the Greek equipment table, which is why the AI purchases it.
If you play the default 'Greece' scenario, you can see what equipment is available to that nation.

If it really is the DLC you are referring to, it's not that your core size is shrinking, it's because you're picking up extra core units (captured equipment) that is taking up your available core deploy slots.

It's a 'feature' of the Kiev scenario.

Greece has the same thing going on.&nbsp; The scenario before it has more core slots.&nbsp; It's somewhat explained in the briefings, but it has lead to a lot of confusion unfortunately.

Which is why we made the extra effort to include some of these captured equipment types in our expanded DLC content.&nbsp;

<t> If you're having trouble with it, I would recommend ignoring Brest-Litovsk entirely.&nbsp; It is NOT required for a victory, just a decisive victory.&nbsp; You can go straight ahead and attack Minsk, then wheel around and deal with Brest-Litovsk if you have enough strength and time left ...
