Do units vanish between scenarios???

v1.2

Hello,

I have Panzer Corps 2 basic game and AO Spanish Civil War.
I played through the basic game 2 times. Great game. I had a lot of fun. It seemed to be bug-free.

But in the shortly purchased AO Spanish Civil War I encountered a strange situation. A unit just vanished.
At the end of scenario #2 I have four AA guns (two of them are temporarily working as AT gun). Please look at the screenshot below.
Image
At the end of the last turn of this map "Antequera" I have definitely four AA guns. But at the beginning of the 3rd map "Merida" the 4th AA gun is vanished. WHY?
Please look at the 2nd screenshot below.
Image
I play at field marshal difficulty level. Therefore I neither can nor want to loose any units, because prestige points are very rare. At field marshal I have -60% prestige and +10% base accuracy to the enemy.
Are there any hidden rules in the game - regarding this difficulty level?

For proof please find the save-file here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/qt7ngmru ... t.sav/file
Thanks for help in advance!

In the first picture, the one with all 4 AA Guns, the left of the AA guns in AA fire mode is an Auxillary Unit, and Auxillaries don't transfer between Scenarios like your Core does.
Core units are designated by a yellow/gold arrow on top of the unit thumbnail in that sidebar, you can compare it to the Core AA Gun next to it.

That 2 strength AA is an Aux unit (note that it does not have a yellow ^ above its strength plate), so it won't transfer to the next scenario like Core units (those with a yellow ^ above strength plates) do. Aux unit can only exist in the scenario it appears.

Thanks, Stormchaser and VirgilInTheSKY, for your help.
There is no bronze-coloured chevron above that unit. So the AA Gun must be purchased auxilliary Italian unit. Okay, but...

....which is a bit strange in my opinion, because I can't buy any Italian AA guns in scenario number 2 at all. When I decide to restart the scenario, I can not buy such a unit. Spooky :shock:

You can purchase aux German units if your core slot is filled up, or manually setting the purchase to aux unit by clicking on the ^ mark in cart.

Ahh, yeah you are right. When my core slot is filled up and in addition to that I purchase e.g. a tank it is permissible to obtain that unit, but this time without belonging to my core units.
Thank you very much, VirgilInTheSKY, for this - at least for me - hidden feature!
