I've been playing around with the short scenario's. In the Kharkov one the Germans start with 62 points. They need 65 for victory. I've looked in the manual and on the map for victory hexes. I notice that some towns have a blue dot and some have a red dot? What am I missing?

From what I can tell so far,the red dots are worth 25pts and the blue 10pts.The white ones seem to be worth 1pt.

The colors just tell you the city size - Red for big, blue for medium, black for small and white for town. The number of VPs is set per hex by the scenario designer, so it could be anything. Normally, the bigger cities are worth more and 25VP seems to be the standard, but don't assume it once you start playing custom scenarios from modders.

So, where in the manual is a list of points per hex? I just can't find it. Taking the Kharkov Scenario, how does the German get those required 65 points?

Mouse over the city hexes to see the VP value at the top of the screen. Kharkov is worth 50 IIRC.

I'll try that. To me the manual is the weakest part of this title? A lot of things aren't explained properly...

Mouse over doesn't work, but clicking on it does! Thanks Elmo. Sometimes I can't see the forest because of the trees!!

OK. I was going from my memory, which is not as good as it never was! [;)]
