ORIGINAL: HansBolter .... Please correct me if the following presumption is inaccurate: If the game screenshot I posted had been WITE2, while the German side could no longer score more victory points for the objectives they would most certainly continue seizing from the heavily weakened Soviet side, the plus side of the equation for the German side is that the weakened Soviet side that would continue losing objectives would not be scoring any points. You say you've read the manual (first post). If so, you have all the information you need from the rules in section 29 to make a good comparison and work out if your progress would have been enough to trigger an Axis win already (ie before the initiative change). Second, the rules in the last para of 29.1.2 apply after the initiative changes, which tells you how further Axis gains affect the Soviet score. Finally the rules for 31 December 1944 are in 29.1.4 offer another way in which a high scoring axis player can win despite the Soviets having the initiative. Did you simply not read, or did you not understand, the clear statement that solitaire players couldn't care less about when some artificial determination of 'victory' is triggered? Regardless, a poor word choice led to a misunderstanding. Yes, I participated by being the one who misunderstood, but I'm not the only participant. I'm not the one who made the poor word choice that led to the misunderstanding. Why is it that when I come to this forum to level a criticism, I find myself being targeted as the one who did something wrong? Why can't those responsible for the error, or mistake that led to the misunderstand just stop dissembling for at least one minute, and man up and shoulder some accountability. If you want an answer to that its because generally the forum is a place where folk come to ask for advice, help, clarification etc... and as in life if you behave in a boorish obnoxious manner in return then otherwise helpful folk will tend to go a bit sour too. Joel, Loki and others have given you clear concise explanations and hopefully you now have cleared up your misinterpretation, say thank you and move on like a good gentleman and folks will help you next time too. Personal attacks are a violation of the terms of service. I'll say 'thank you' when some one says 'I'm sorry'. Instead of 'hey, sorry for the misunderstanding caused by our poor word choice' I get dissembling and the forum fan bois rushing in to shout me down. SOP
