MCSE Scoring problem

Post by Al Boone »

I was playing the 2nd scene where the paras have to rescue wounded and get them off the map to score points and then exit themselves. It seems that one can not save the game and exit during this scene, since they lose any earlier exit points at the end. This has probably been mentioned before. I am not sure whether I use the "save and exit" game routine only, or also used the "ctrl alt delete" save game switch routine to cause this, but the only way to get the exit points, which are crucial to winning, is to play the game on through continuously from any exit turn. I also wonder how these two types of game interuptions affect "game point kills for endgame scoring" and individual unit "kill" totals for awards and experience at endgame?

That is interesting. I always played the scenario completely through, so I never noticed this happening. I'll give it a try and see if it happens to me. Thankfully, it is not a long scenario and you should be able to play through it in less than an hour.

I'll let you know...WB

Hi

This is a long known about problem - means that any victory hex/exit based scenaio
HAS to be played without saving. Makes some very tough to play if you have a real life as well :-)

I think the last topic was .....

This seems to apply to all the MegaCampaigns. It does not seem to apply to normal Campaigns/Scenarios
