is this a bug?

Post by deilthedog »

ive played 2 battles in the long campaign as the germans and ive won both yet at the end its said 2 draws, even though i inflicted more casualties, had all V hexes and broke the AI morale.
how can this be a draw?

Nope, the scoring determines victory. Here are the ratios. As for the destroyed units, its random to give the feel of destroyed units already on the battlefield. Many scenario designers will even use this tactic in their own created scenarios.

SPWaW Victory Ratios explained

Human vs computer
More than 1-3 Decisive Loss
1-3 to 3-1 Draw
3-1 to 7-1 Minor victory
7-1 Higher Major victory

The odds vs human player are a little lower. This is due to the predictable action of the AI in computer generated battles.

Human vs. Human
More than 1-2 Decisive Loss
1-2 to 2-1 Draw
2-1 to 6-1 Minor victory
6-1 Higher Major victory

I tend to pay more attention to casualty and equipment losses to determine my victories.
Retreat is NOT an option.
