Probably the biggest thing is waypoints,
Read the manual. Twice!
Create a small test scenario (like a platoon) and send squads in all directions using waypoints.
Learn how to use them for reinforcement units that enter a scenario after it begins and need waypoints to know where to go.
Learn to use them to set up a bounding overwatch. i.e. how to move, delay a turn or two, and move again.
Learn how to get units with different movement speeds to move at the same pace.

Master waypoints and you'll become an instant scenario design expert.

I never thought I would say this but...

It is quite possible that the code for Waypoints is MORE messed up than the code for Airstrikes.

It couldn't have been as obvious as...

1) Follow this path to the best of your ability at a) top speed b) 3/4ths c) half.
2) If someone shoots you stop and fight back
3) If no one is shooting you stay where you got shot or resume

It is scarily telling that Pyros (a Player) is the one who figured out what is going on under the hood.

In building a campaign...

At the beginning the player gets to buy XXX with ZZZ points.

In each of the scenarios created the units purchased for Player 1 are the Auxiliary Units correct? So stuff he bought plus other stuff he bought with Support points if Given at all plus any Aux Units purchased by the designer in each of the scenarios.

Is there anyway to skip that initial Core Purchase and just assign units to him?

Units purchased or upgraded with replacement points become part of the core.

Units purchased with reinforcement points are effectively auxiliaries.

If you make your campaign "Fixed Core" the player cannot add new units after the game begins.

mmm sorta answered my own question...

The answer was in the Scenario Editor portion not Campaign where I was looking.

Slightly different question...

I want to start off with a specific set of units. I want the player to be able to add to them if he wishes after the First Battle.

Set it for fixed core buy the stuff and hand out repair points for each battle normally?
