Made this post in the Gazala scenario thread, but it seems a bigger issue? Makes play very difficult.

Playing beta 2 now.

Error with purchasing new units/Prestige: Can't do it after start. If scenario is supposed to work this way, with no units purchasable after the start, a pop-up or briefing element should state that? But the prestige errors imply it's a bug:

After start, when attempting to buy a new unit, the game:
a) acts like you are indeed purchasing.
b) unit does not appear in reserves.
c) prestige changes by random amount, +/- 50, 99, 210 - apparently unrelated to unit cost.

I reloaded from deployment phase and same weird behavior appeared.
I quit to desktop, restarted game, and restarted scenario but the same behavior.

I used a cheat code to force a victory, went to Malta and the same thing happens. Purchasing units works in deployment phase, but then goes haywire as above after opening turn 1.

Just to muddy the waters - I played Gazala in beta2 and this issue did not occur. What did happen, however, was that the deployment hexes were not centred on the screen so I had to scroll to them first. I was/am able to deploy normally then. The prestige subtraction was also correct.

After turn 19 (when they begin retreat), it cleared up/went away. I was then able to purchase/deploy a unit.

Starting Malta now; hope it's cleared up.

I played with the bug and when you 1st tried to buy a unit, the subtraction was correct. but no unit appeared in your line up nor could you deploy anything else. If you tried again, then the strange subtraction/addition started. Perhaps that helps diagnose it.

I assume that this issue remains after saving/reloading, and if so, can you send a saved game to me? Thx! rudankort@rsdn.ru

Yep, I have been playing with that handicap several scenarios. I'll send a saved game shortly. Had some connectivity issues and was unable to log in the last two days.
