Game scoring Issues and Tank Ammo reloads
I have a couple of questions I could find no answer to in the forums.
1. Is there a way to reload ammo in the tanks? I have tried ammo bunkers, depots, and all the assorted ammo carrying vehicles and have been unable to reload ammo in them. Thus far, the only thing I can reload (that I know of) is the rocket launchers, mortars, and infantry. Many times a tank will run out of main gun ammo, and become basically useless against other tanks. I've sat on unsuppressed ammo bunkers or munitions depots for 10 turns hoping to reload. It would be nice to be able to reload and get them back into the battle.Is there a way to do this that I have not yet figured out?
2. Scoring - I just completed a PBEM game with a friend. We have both been playing Steel Panthers since the 90's. The end result was a draw. It just does not add up. Here are the stats:
6/45 Meeting engagment: 65000 points per side.
German Score: 14508 Russian Score: 26887 (+12379 - Almost TWICE the points!)
Vehicles left Germany: 3 JagdTigers, 2 Panthers, 1 Halftrack, 1 Ostwind, 4 Wurfgerats (a total of 11 VEHICLES LEFT - ALL ROUTED!!)
Vehicles left Russia: 9 ZSU's (3 immobilized),12 Kosomelets (1 immobilized) 33 KV-85's (2 immobilized) 54 Vehicles - only 6 immobilized
Russia had less vehicles immobilized than the entire remaining German vehicle count.
Dead Germans 2533
Dead Russians 1494
1039 more dead Germans than Russians!!!
Not only that...all infantry was routed or pinned on the German side...he could move NO ONE!!!
I had at least 25 infantry units that I could still move, notwithstanding 48 vehicles still operable.
I captured EVERY flag 10 turns before the ending turn (25 turns with an ending planned for 35 turns)
How in the hell can that be a draw?? I would expect a minor victory for the Russians at the very least, in this case. We actually thought we (both my opponent and I) would see our first ever major victory in the game.
Could someone please explain this to me?
Jim
