Question about victory in generated campaign

Syleb · #1 October 16th, 2007, 05:59 AM

Before all, excuse for my bad english.

I have ended some generated campaigns in WinSPMBT. The game gives me some indications about my victory points but I dont' understand what they significate. For example :

- north Korea (player)/USA in 2005 : 27 pts in 14 battles
- USA (player)/USSR in 1947 : 7 pts in 5 battles (2 for marginal defeats, 5 for draws, 1 for marginal victory).
I don't understand this repartition : 1 marginal victory earns less points than 2 marginal defeats ?
What is the maximum points reachable in those cases ? How are calculated the victory points for each battle, included the special ones (ie without reinforcement points) ?

A lot of questions for a newbie on this forum... Excuse-me for that. I played a lot on the old version of SPMBT. I don't remember i had these problems. Maybe il always lost my campaigns, so I didn't take care about my victory points...

Merci de votre aide !

@2nd example, you have:
8 battles total
including
2 marginal defeats (worth 0 IIRC)
5 draws (worth 1 ea.)
1 marginal victory (worth 2)

It means that :
- decisive defeat = -1 ?
- marginal defeat = 0
- draw = 1 point
- marginal victory = 2 points
- decisive victory = 3 points ?

Maybe a special battle is doubled ?

So, a 5 battles campaign has a maximum of 15 victory points ?

I think 5 battles, max points 15, special battles or not.

Gentlemen,
Does anyone know what exactly "tank heavy" means on the preference screen? Does it refer to a formula, as in 51% of buy points go to armor, or number of formations, or something I haven't thought about? I haven't figured it out in 3 years now, so it's time to ask.
Thanks
Will

In the Game Guide, on the LHS is a set of links to various sections.

Choose "Preferences Screen" and then when on that page of the GG, read the "AI Tank Heavy" entry. That should answer your question?.
