Downsize maps and game balance.

Umm..., what is "a scenario"?

If by scenario you mean editing an existing scenario I imagine reducing the map size will break the scenario.

If you're talking about a generated battle using a small map size I think it will work fine. You might want to adjust the number of on map victory hexes.

With small maps mobility is less of an issue. APCs are probably not worth the points. Leg infantry or slow moving, but heavily armoured AFVs won't have too much ground to traverse - i.e. low speed is not much of a problem. I guess most artillery better be off map...
