VtB PBEM vs Gunnulf. Italy surrendered on T15 meaning the whole TB has been set to inactive and the OOB has been wiped out (with the exception of a few units evacuated to the Axis Reserve).

Yet if you look at the loss metrics and also check the Event Log you will see that these losses are not being reflected properly. If you go on the delta metrics, it will simply show you the value of the turn just with a minus in front. Seems odd.

Losses from such large scale destruction/massive surrenders should be reflected in the TB totals. Saves attached, just advance the Soviet turn and you will see what happens in the Axis turn 15.

My only guess on why the units surrendering in Italy are not added into the losses is that the event has the first action in the list setting the TB inactive. The North African campaign, which has that action after the surrender actions shows the units that surrendered in the captured numbers. However, in the North Africa case, the metrics just shows the manpower and losses going to 0, so the event triggered surrenders are not included in the Metrics in either case. Realize it's not correct, but again appears to be just a display accounting issue and not actually impacting anything in the game.

Would it be possible to add the numbers before setting the TB to inactive? That way you can clearly show what the whole Italian campaign cost in terms of manpower and equipment.

If that's what's causing the issue, it will be easier to change the scenario event than to change the code.

Event 11, Finland surrenders, is affected as well, FI TB is set to inactive before forces are evacuated
EDIT: Plus #136 - Soviet Partisan War Ends

Would it suffice to inactivate the TBs in the last event action after removing the one placed too high in the list?

Yes, but no Germans surrender when Finland falls, and the Finnish losses may have to do with Finland surrender which like Romanian surrender and I think Italian surrender probably doesn't count into the losses.
