What you found was a "bug" that has existed for at least 2 years and we think it might be as much as double that ( or more ). We won't know that until I dig out an older than 2011 issued EXE and test but it probably goes back to the time we eliminated the random added turns at the end of sceanrios and campaigns that exist in generated battles just to keep things interesting...... whereas a scenario ( and a campaign scenario....) require a more structured end the sceanrio designer can control. If that IS the case it's been so long we forget how long it's been like that.... long enough that for everyone playing a campaign this is "normal"

Ok. Thanks Don for the reply.
Also the case in Round Hammer, of winSPWW2.
May be considered normal. But it is not nice experience to see that you can not get a win for one turn less.
The problem can be removed by editing the scenes of the campaign?
