I was hoping someone could help me with some Campaign Questions on Prestige:

1) Is there a specific amount of points you receive for each Scenario (w/in the Campaigns)? Do you receive more Prestige with a Decisive win? Do you receive any Prestige for a Loss?

2) Does your balance of Prestige carry over into the next Scenario? In other words, if I have Prestige left over in the my last turn, is there any benefit to me buying some Core units before ending my last turn? Or can I just wait until the next scenario?

Thank you

My SWAG:

1. My sense is that you accumulate points for each victory objective that you hold. Winning earlier means that you hold them through addition turns (that are not played out)

2. Points roll into the next scenario. Don't buy core units late. You may have better options next game. Don't replenish units in a game unless you need them badly. Replacements in between games are cheaper

Drill Sgt, thanks for your reply.

1) Not sure I understand what you are saying. Could you reword that?

2) Replacements are cheaper in game! Wow, are you 100% positive on that? That is really important information, thanks,

1. You receive immediately 100 prestige for each objective flag you capture, and 50 prestige all other flags. But only the first time. Capturing a flag, losing it again and then recapture, will not give you the bonus prestige again. However, if you were in possession of a flag at the beginning of the battle and then lost it to enemy, you will get the bonus prestige for liberating it.
On top of that you will receive prestige at the end of each scenario. The amount will vary from scenario to scenario. Usually you receive the same amount of for decisive and marginal victories. The developers wanted to avoid a situation that you end up in a down spiral, because your force took a beating and only achieved a marginal victory. In some cases after a very hard battle, a loss can even give you the most prestige. This is to help bring your force back to strength, like after Stalingard and Overlord(Normandy).

2. Regular replacements are for free in between scenarios. Elite Replacements and overstrengthing units cost only the half. If you hover your mouse over the replacements buttons a tool-tip will show you much it will cost you. It's a fraction of the original unit costs.

I hope this clarifies it a bit better. Feel free to post a follow up question in case I made it even worse to understand. [:)]

Thank you very much.

1) I figured out that it is not a good idea to push-it to get a Decisive Victory if you already have a Marginal if this will cost you some CORE UNITS. Now that I see the pay-off is not really there for a Decisive, I will continue the approach of preserving my core units for the battles to come. Am I correct in assuming this is a reasonable approach? I can say that I am about to start the Moscow scenario and several of my Core are strength 13!

2) Once again, thank you for that INCREDIBLE information on boosting up your Core units AFTER the battle. That is a huge bonanza of information - - thanks!!!

Glad I could be of assistance.
