Hello.
For some reason whenever I try to complete a campaign mission with the Japanese vs Americans in return to the phillipines, I complete the current mission and hold the objectives but when the battle is over I don't receive any victory points for holding the locations and the game doesn't state what level of a victory or defeat it was. I then get a terrible score (though I did well and held the objectives) and suffer on the replacement points for the next battle. It pretty much kills being able to play a campaign. I haven't tried it with West/East front.
KC, the score you see is always the attacker's performance. So if you are defender and see a negative final score, no worries - you the defender actually did quite well. The number of replacements can be randomly reduced but it is not dependant on how well you performed in a mission.
You can find out how well you did after the battle when you are returned to the Campaign screen - just click your 'Campaign History' button. My guess is that you did better than you think.
What you are striving for is 'experience points' which are weighted slightly more toward the final kill ratio than gaining the objectives. Another factor is the type of mission you played - some missions are more important to the High Command than others and thus will provide higher levels of experience points.
cheers,
