I load my scenario and get a random map instead.

[HolyTerra]

I used the advanced options in Skirmish, with the intent of getting a random load of soliders to play on the custom map. Does it not work this way, or did I maybe miss a step?

No. Skirmish always creates a random map, it does not load any premade maps. Try using the random unit plugin in the editor perhaps.
