Other Loss VPs

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Why do I have a -33 Other Loss VPs at the beginning of Turn 2? Playing Allies in 43-45 campaign.

I believe OTHER LOSS is non-US allied forces.
PO2 US Navy (1980-1986);
USS Midway CV-41 (1981-1984)
Whidbey Island, WA (1984-1986)
Naval Reserve (1986-1992)

Turn 2 will see the VP cost to the Allies for the initial losses that are used to generate a steady stream of replacements into the system. So the scenario starts with about 40,000 men as casualties that are slowly recovered or lost permanently. So you will have US and non-US (or OTHER) casualties that are then evaluated as negative VPs.

Use American forces to attack whenever you can. 1000 US casualties are worth 1, and 600 Non-US are worth 1 VP. It must be because the Non-US forces are on the metric system 6/10. [;)]
