Game End Bug? - 3/12/2016 5:33:55 AM

In my Advancing Fire I eliminated a enemy half squad which was occupying a VP, but the game ended immediately (must have been the last enemy unit).
I was thinking I would be able to Advance and take the VP (I had 3 squads adjacent). If I would have Advanced into Close Combat and then eliminated that squad I could have captured the VP. Maybe it's not a bug, but it makes one think about leaving broken units rather than eliminating them, or being cautious with firing units toward the end of a game lest a great roll end it before you can move. Maybe one ought to be able to finish the turn?

This is a feature Peter added during Beta test on the request from the testers. I can see there are situations where this feature becomes strange. I'll add it to the list of existing features to improve.

It also happened to me in the "Pavlov's House" scenario. I achieved a Russian Major Victory while losing my entire force

, since the German eliminated my last unit and the game ended with 4 out of 5 VP Hexes controlled by the Russian side.

I have mixed feelings about this feature: It would be nice to have the game assess if the player which still has units can reach the VP hexes that are still controlled by the opposite side.

Good to know it's a feature - I'll modify my tactics accordingly! Great game!! Fun even when I am "robbed" of a major victory!

Same thing happened to me in Slvlov's Labor Force. I killed the last unit and the game ended immediately. What should have been a major victory turned into a draw. It seems kind of gamey to end the scenario immediately upon the destruction of the last unit. If thats the case, then it should be an automatic major victory.

This is an issue I raised way back when I also eliminated all enemy units in turn 5, perfectly able to capture all remaining objectives in the 2 turns remaining.

It really shouldn't be a 'feature'. If you are given 7 turns to complete an objective then you should have 7 turns, and I can't see how eliminating all enemy units can possibly be deserving of a penalty for a player.

Best Wishes

Mike
