Score

My losses for the battle (I checked) were

1 Mag'ach-6A
1 20-MM SPAA
3 F0 Jeeps
2 OT-64 APC

They lost 127 tanks, mostly M4s, but with a few M-24s and M-48s, along with a similar number of APCs of various types.

For a decisive victory, if you lose something then you require to offset it by 8 times its points value, 2 times for a marginal.

Your FO jeeps cost 86 points each, for example. Arty observers are expensive items!.

You do not mention any infantry losses or damaged units on your side (e.g a surviving tank with 20 damage points still needs 8*20 to offset for decisive). Damage points do count, as do any objective hexes.

Your list of losses above is only partial - since it is worth about 500 points, and you mention that the enemy had scored 1100. (Unless you had set (or gained in a campaign) troop experience at very high levels above the default settings - e.g. a Magach 6A at 120 EXP jumps to 242 points from 178 at the basic 80 EXP for Israel at 1970).

An Iranian M4 costs only about 50 points, and M24 about 48 at regular EXP/MOR settings - it would be lower if you (or the scenario designer if this was one) had altered the Iranians to less than default experience of course.
