3)you don't have get a DV every time to get a tactical win,think of how well you played and if you gave more than you got,ie who got the bloodier nose,then it makes sense who actually commanded the field.

In other words,don't obsess with getting an DV,too much stress it's all on how well you played and how much fun it was!

After all nobody is judgeing you except maybe yourself.
Well said. SPWW2 is a wonderful tool, but sometimes we ask too much of it--and ourselves. Much as we'd like, we can't go back and change history by beating up on our favorite bogeyman. Besides, as Andy mentioned years ago, "This is a wargame. It is not a 'sim.'" So we shouldn't believe that we're proving anything earth-shaking by achieving DV's on the combat results screen.

Do your best, sure, but don't worry about the result. It should be enough to have the pleasure of playing this wonderful game. Cheers.
