When I go to upgrade or purchase units in the long campaign, I noticed that units are sometimes listed in Red text and can't be purchased. At first I thought that these units just aren't available for that time period, but after a few battles that doesn't seem to be the case. What does this mean?

Rarity Ratings - When "True Troop Cost" is on units rarity ratings now come into play. Units that were rare or out of production will have a greater chance of not being available to the player. A unit's rarity affects their chances of being available on the purchase menus. Units currently unavailable will now show up in red on the purchase screen. Units that are out of production show up in yellow. Units Rarity Ratings are rechecked after you purchase each one of them. Note: if you delete a formation that is rechecked and is now no longer available, you cannot buy them back, so be careful! This button is a 3 way toggle – True troop cost and Rarity off, True troop cost only on and both True troop cost and rarity on. When “rarity” is on…” then continue from right after “When “True Troop cost” as is.

Thanks gmenfan. I was about to ask that q as well, but I think I got it right. Question though; about the only thing I can't buy (in 5/40) is GE Rifle squads! :eek: My core force is so low on infantry and I can't afford to buy mech inf. Heh, I figured ordinary troops would be the last thing you'd run short of, at least at that point in the war...

Well IIRC, its really the rarity preference, not the true troop cost preference that controls this. But you can turn it on/off in the preference screen.

One trick I use is to turn rarity off when buying my initial core units then back on for the aux units and other games in a campain.
