Several of my core units vanish from one scenario to the next in the campaign game.
Examples:
I had 5 core tank units b4 Poland ended in a decisive victory. When Norway began I only had 2 tank units in my core. The others were gone as well as the prestige I spent on them through Poland. They never came back after Norway (I thought maybe the number of core units was too high? for Norway and went into a 'pool' saved till the next scenario - nope gone for good).
I had 5 fighters prior to Moscow in my core units. When the time came to place my units, 1 of the fighters was gone. My FW 190 was never seen again....
I lost a fighter bomber once, and 3 infantry another time.

What is the issue here? Why are my core units vanishing? Core means core right?!

Sorry you are having problems. We've had this type of thing reported before but it has always been a misunderstanding of what core units are. Only the units with gold borders are core units. Auxiliary units do not carry over. Having said that just because we've never seen it, it doesn't mean it can't happen so if you can send us a saved game where you have it then we will certainly investigate. Send to info@slitherine.co.uk.

Another point for aircraft is that they automatically use fuel even if you don't move them. They will run out of gas and be removed from your core. So check to make sure you to check you aircraft since they get overlooked when the weather is bad and they are not next to an airfield.

Slapshot,
Yes aware of that. No, all these units dissapeared forever at the setup screen, not during a game and I never let my guys run out of gas. LOL.

Iain,
Yes, aware of that. I'm ABSOLUTELY positive these were gold bordered core units that were alive and well at the end of a scenario and were simply 'gone' at the set up screen of a new scenario. I will check for a save but I deleted my save files and started fresh in a new campaign just in case they were corrupted. I dont know how to report unless I have a save at the end of a scenario to compare with a save immediately at the start of a new scenario.
This is for sure a bug because it doesnt happen every time. As an example, between two Poland scenarios with EXACTLY the same units, the Norway scenario set-up were different. One time had all my Poland core units and the next game I was missing the three tank units.

TY for your quick response.

I can't think of any other legitimate reason why they would disappear so if it is happening it sounds like a bug - we'll need to dig in to your saved games to find out why so if you can keep them in future and send any over where you see this behaviour we'll certainly check it out.
