It happens in several scenarios when playing in MP (e.g Stalingrad, US east cost, Alam Alfa)

Even after losing several "gold" units, you still cant buy any new units......Now in Stalingrad, I am not clear at which point this happens, eventually one is able to buy new units....In the above scenarios this is true for the defender (the soviets in Stalingrad, US in east coast and Brits in Alam),,, The attacker does not seem to have this problem

So what is the logic ? how and when can one buy new units after some of the initial ones ?

Each scenario has a maximum core unit size but the scenario designer can place more than this limit. You can't buy new core units until you have less than the limit. This doesn't have to be through the units being destroyed - you can also disband them ('D' key). For example, the core size limit is 10 and you have 15 core units - 6 would need to be destroyed or disbanded before you could buy a new one. Otherwise, your prestige is best spent on reinforcing existing units. To see the limit hover your mouse over the purchase button - it will show something like 10/15 or 8/10 or whatever.

Hmmm, no it does not show that info,, It just says "Core units 0"

I just tested Stalingrad as the soviets... You need to disband 22 units before being allowed to buy one..... Although I played recently against someone who was able to buy hordes of conscripts early on and I doubt he disbanded that many units... so perhaps there is some other condition affecting this,,,,

But in any case it would nice to have that info available

Those are single play scenarios. They are balanced for single player.

This is by design and why you can not buy units.

I asked this question before.

You need to load the scenario in the Editor, there it will tell you how many core slots are available. You cannot buy new units until core slots are freed when units die.

Yes, my mistake _ I was thinking of transports. Unfortunately, there is no way to know the maximum core size without going into the scenario in the editor.
