Changing unit count mid-way through a script?

I know that SetUnitCount(?, ?) sets the amount of units on the battlefield, so I tried putting it in a script, to change the unit count around a bit. For instance, you could start off with a unit count of 5 for a team and then go straight to 20 after the first objective. Problem is, it doesn't work because this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

cis = {

			team = CIS,

			reinforcements = -1,

                        units = 5,<======

			soldier  = { "cis_inf_marine",9, 25},

			assault  = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},

			engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},

			sniper   = { "cis_inf_sniper",1, 4},

			officer = {"cis_inf_rifleman",1, 4},

			special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},

sets it as a default. I can't get rid of that line because it crashes the map. I also tried changing the unit count to -1 but that also crashes the map.
I know there are work-arounds but I was wondering if this method was possible at all?

It should work... Are you sure your script was working?

Have you got SetUberMode (correct me if wrong) in your LUA?
I read somewhere that it breaks SetUnitCount.

I'll give it another go just to check, I might have forgotten to do something.

SetUberMode breaks the max unit count on the battlefield, it just means you can have over 32 units on the battlefield.

Yeah I know that

, it's just I thought I read somewhere that SetUberMode also prevents SetUnitCount from working correctly too for some reason.

I also have this problem with changing the unit count, so any help would be gold.

If you read what I did in my first post, Zerted said that should work. Presumably you are doing this for a campaign?
