Didn't get VP's due me

[Grognard]

This pic is from the AAR final situation - so there aren't any enemy units hiding. I captured the objective late day 2 or early day 3. Why didn't I get awarded points or even the objective? It never was highlighted. ???

Did the crossing get blown and then rebuilt during the scenario? Could you show the same scene showing the Combat Power view (F2 key)?

Thanks

Bridge was never blown. And I made the mistake or ordering an Infantry Bn to cross the bridge so they were there almost a day and a half getting across. So there were plenty of combat factors in the vicinity for quite a while. BTW thanks for your prompt (!) reply and a truely splendid game....

Also BTW here's the final tally. Not bad huh?

[Grognard]

There's a reason I picked better supply but that's better addressed in the wish list thread.

Thanks for reminding me about this one.

I've had a look and am unable to say for sure why you aren't getting points for that. I'll have to pass it on to Dave or Paul and get them to take a look. If you have a savegame - taken at any time when you occupied that victory location - could you please send it to support at panthergames dot com?

Thanks

Have re-formatted my HD twice since then. Sorry, but that game is just a fond memory.

But I'm playing Nijmegan again (my own mod - I added 2 more days). Will see if it happens again...

Happening again...

Wilco'ed transmission of savegame. How copy, over?

Savegame received and problem resolved [8D]

For anyone else following this, here's the answer:

The way the "Secure Crossing" objective works is this:

1. The normal status of a crossing is the status it has in the map file. For the Weurt Crossing, this is Med Bridge.

2. The start status of a crossing is the status it has at the start of a scenario (which can be modified in the ScenMaker by holding down Shift and double-clicking on the crossing. For the Weurt Crossing in the Nijmegen Historical Campaign, this is Ferry.

3. In addition to the rules below, you must secure the area of the objective, same rules as for a normal "Secure" objective.

4. If the normal status of the crossing is Lt Bridge or better, and the start status is Ferry or worse, then you must construct at least a Lt Bridge to achieve the objective.

5. If the normal status of the crossing is Lt Bridge or better, and the start status is also Lt Bridge or better, then you must secure the original bridge intact, or construct at least a Lt Bridge to achieve the objective.

5. If the normal status of the crossing is Ferry, then you must either secure the original Ferry intact, or construct at least a Lt Bridge to achieve the objective.

Hope this clears up any confusion!

Re-issued build bridge orders, 10 -15 minutes of game time later it was done, and voila !!
I was notified I had reached/secured the obj.

Very heartening for the bridge platoon to know they could contribute to the effort...

Thanks so much for the elucidation.

Glad to be of service [8D]
