Victory points - Bagration

[i_muinos]

Hi!
I´m begginner and I´m feeling a bit lost.
I´ve played the small 1944 scenario (Bagration), and set the balance as "even".

First, I played with the Germans. I lost a lot of squads and equipment. But at the end of the 14th turn I was holding Riga and Kaunas without any problem and Brest-Litovsk was about to fall and with a supply of 3, but still controlled by me.
The Russians only got Minsk, however the announce I got was "Game is a draw".
I don´t understand why it wasn´t a German victory.

Then I played with the russians. I lost a lot of squads and equipment, but less than the Germans. At the beginning of the turn 14 I only had Minsk and Vilnya, but during the last turn (14) I manage to occupy Brest-Litovsk, Kaunas nad Bialystok, leaving for the Germans only Riga.
The result was a "German Victory"!! I can´t understand how that's possible, since I had more cities than the computer in the previous game. It should be at least a draw.

I guess I´m missing something. Can anyone help me, please?

Regards,

Iago

Hit alt-o to see victory cities.

[i_muinos]

Yes. I´ve already lookes for the victory cities. That's the surprising thing. For the Germans are Riga, Kaunas, Vilnya, Bialystok, Brest-Litovsk (2 points) and Minsk.

That's why I think the first game should be a victory of the Germans, not a draw; and the second a draw, not a victory of the Germans.

The cities for the Russians are Minsk (1) and then other cities to far west (Riga, Konisberg, ...)

Ah, got the point. Cities are only counted occupied when their supply rate hits 6. So you didn't control Brest-Litovsk (although the points should be 8-1 so don't know, might be a bug). And for the second game last turn capture won't get you enough supply, sorry =)

[i_muinos]

Ok, thank you very much. Your answer is very helpful. I used to think that if the supply was 4 or higher everything was fine, since in the victory table shows you the supply if it is 3 or less, but no otherwise.

Anyway, is it impossible to get a supply of 6 with the last turn capture? Not even if you have already captured all the adjacent hexes?

Regards and thanks again,

And besides, if I´m playing with the russians and only looking forward the draw I shouldn´t care if the supply of the cities is 6 or not. As long as the cities are not in the hands of the Germans, it should be fine for me, shouldn´t it?
