Japan Victory Point Loss Problem - 6/21/2021 11:29:59 PM

I've hit May '43 in my Reluctant Admiral PBEM game as Japan and I'm finding that I'm losing a excessive amount of victory points each turn. I'm not talking about the 1 or 2 lost due to garrison requirements not being met, I'm talking hundreds. This is vexing. I've checked for withdrawal dates on my units, air wings and ships, but nothing is overdue. Any thoughts? Is this a bug in RA? I believe I'm playing version 8.1 of RA.

Any help is appreciated. It's not game breaking per se, but trending towards zero VP is not satisfying, to say the least.

Thanks!
David.

I'm not losing bases, but I've got one base that is in the red for supplies. Looking at Tracker, the dates line up with the VP loss so this looks like the source of it. Thanks!

Any idea about what the factor for losses are? If this base ran down to 0 supplies, is the VP loss equivalent to the number of VPs that they base is worth to me, or something else?

I'd done a search on the forums about this problem but didn't come up with anything. Hopefully my title will be searchable enough for future players to find this answer.

David.

If I could post a screen shot of Tracker it would show that there is an explicit loss of VPs for Japan. Unfortunately I'm still working towards my 10th post so can't upload anything!

You can post may other places besides your own threads. So it is not hard to get to ten posts if you think about it.

Indeed. The manual indicates that a base with 0 supply will only yield 25% of its victory points and that these are "awarded" at the end of the game. Implying that the current total listed in Tracker (and on the in game screen) is only showing what the total would be if the game ended on that particular turn.

Many thanks all!
David.

This is not meant to be in any way rude, but actually I just wanted to see if I could get a correctly formatted gif to post:
