Has there been any change to the victory level assessment? The battle I played was called as a draw though I still had most of my tanks, I had destroyed all enemy tanks and had way more firepower. Another few minutes, he would have been wiped out. My losses were moderate, I was in command of the field, at worst I would call it Tactical Victory.

I don't think there have been any changes in the system lately. The ownership of objectives over the course of battle matters, and the mission type. You can enable the 'show victory levels' scenario launch option to see how the victory bars behave.

Another oddity I noticed. When I played the scenario the first time, the victory level for the players side had all gone, no green showing for a long time and I expected a defeat but the game kept playing, and instead it was a victory for the player.

But when I replay the last minute or two of the autosave, I still have a good bit of green showing still but it only appears after the scenario finishes.

Tried adding the autosave file but the forum will not allow it as it is not supported.

Note in the picture, no green showing for the players side at the top

The dark green color means that the exact bar length is hidden by the fog of war. Perhaps it's hard for you to see the dark color? The victory bars are revealed after the victory/defeat/draw state has been reached, even if the battle goes on. That's when you see the bright green or red bar.

I only ever see a bright green bar or red bar. I have never seen a dark green bar.

This is why I raised the issue of the bars during alpha and beta testing. There is no way of noting small changes in them and ideally they need a scale of some sort to back the bars up and even a position marked as to where the bar started. Even if it was just a box with a percentage number in of remaining points in it would be better.

I had a rethink last night, if I cannot see the Dark Green bar on my computer whilst playing the game due to glare etc, it should show up at least on my 1st screenshot that I posted. On close examination, I can just discern a bar, just a bit lighter than the background. Is that supposed to be the dark green bar?

If this is the case and same with other players who also cannot see it then, maybe it needs changing to a lighter green?

This is great, the pause options make bigger scenarios much easier to handle, the fixes and ui additions add to an already awesome game...

Thanks

1: The dark green bar. The current victory level is hidden under it.

2: The gray bar shows the maximum victory point level (the defending side starts with reduced victory points).

The green bar is only visible if I carefully look for it, but only because I know its there now, otherwise I would not see it.

As for the "grey bar", I cannot see it at all.

Does anyone else have this issue?
