The three tanks, a few APCs, and about a dozen infantry platoons (all routed) that they had left were significantly greater than my losses. (One tank, two APCS, a flak gun, and oneor two infantrymen, 24 men total.)
The final score was 7900+ to 1100ish. I don't see how they scored that many points.
Just in case anyone's confused, I'm not ranting. I'm just trying to understand how the scoring works.

You did not
quite achieve the 8:1 margin required for a decisive victory. Hence, just a normal win (2:1 <===> 7.99:1).
I would guess that you lost just one 'big-ticket' item too many. (One Magach 6 at 175 (80 exp), means you need ~
8x175=1400 to even up the score on that loss if looking for the
decisive - or about 10 Iranian M60A1s at that date)
