The pre-build core looks decent, too. One thing that still bothers me is not being able to configure the pre-build core before the first battle.

I have no idea if there is a technical restriction for starting a new DLC using a pre-build core with a regular setup-phase. But if it is, how about simply adding a mini scenario before the real scenarios start (mini-map, 5 turns, low number of units), thus allowing a real setup phase to follow before fighting the real first battle.
