Williamsburg Starter Scenario, playing as North,

Doing well as North, pushed well south of the VH's and about 6pm got a message the South could not continue as morale was too low. I clicked (the do NOT continue) option, and instead of a victory like the manual suggests, I got a draw, as I was not actually "on" the VH's at the time. Broken mechanic I think?

I'm pretty sure you have to actually occupy the VH's for them to count.

Thanks

Understand about the VH mechanics, but I'm talking about this:

quote:

IMPORTANT: You may also achieve victory by breaking the morale of the enemy
army, reducing that army�s average morale below a certain level determined by
the army commander�s Leadership rating. Similarly, you must safeguard your own
army�s morale carefully. A display of your army�s average morale and the level at
which it breaks is displayed in the top-center of the screen.

That didn't work for me as stated.

You do still have to occupy at least some of the victory hexes when you break the other side's morale to achieve greater than a draw. Admittedly the text in the manual is ambiguous on that point, but this is the intention of the game design.
