Bug in End of Game

[kennonlightfoot]

It looks like there is a bug in how the game handles the last turn (7/27/45) turn and execution of the end turn (Aug 45 turn).

In my last game I completed the 7/27/45 turn as Allies.
My opponent received the turn which when he opened showed the Victory results.
However, when he completed that turn the game didn't come back to me for view the final result.
In the game server it shows it still waiting on his turn but he has confirmed to me that he finished it.

This is under version 8.0. I don't know if its repeatable since it is the first time I have seen this failure.

From his side screen shot:

I believe this is a known issue. I am not sure if it will be fixed or not.

But what amazes me is that the Allies won a VP Victory. I really didn't think that was possible.

Ask him if he uploaded it or resigned?

Does it let you download it?

The end of game comes up so rare that I have little data on bugs for it. This helps quite a bit though because it was more detailed than past posts.

I think I fixed it this time. I moved when it processes the score card so it is independent from you sending a turn off.

Players have to resign the game to quit it.

Mostly need the game to let me access it to find out who won. Only the German player gets the end of game messages. Neither of us have resigned yet so the game is still on the list but always waiting on Axis player. I'll email my opponent and see if he tried ending his turn or not.

Hopefully we will see more of these type endings as the game gets more in balance but it isn't clear who will win VP points. So far it looks like whoever accumulates the most VP points but this is only triggered if the Allies fail to take Berlin (and all German cities so capital doesn't move). So far it looks like the Allies automatically win regardless of VP if they take all of Germany.

The other interesting thing is the Germans are 200 points short of having the victory. This means they need to capture and additional two VP hexes early in the game to accumulate that much. Which I guess makes a case for taking Vichy France early so you can start accumulating their VP's and maybe taking Greece too. The Axis in this game already had Norway, Romania and N. Africa for a short time. They didn't penetrate past the river line west of Moscow and Leningrad. So the other alternative would be to penetrate further into Russia to gain VP as well as decrease Russian VP. But on the flip side Russia while holding the line did very poorly at retaking VP hexes (barely entered Germany before June of 45.

Of course the opposite side of this is the Allies can win without taking Berlin if they can hold down the number of VP the Germans can take while maximizing their own.

Since the Allies get VP from France I wonder who gets the points while France if Vichy?
I haven't paid close attention to this so next game as Allies I will have to watch and see when these points are being accumulated.

If the Axis get conquered before the end of the game they lose period.

I am hoping this latest beta fixes this issue
