AncientForest Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I am playing Final Blitzkrieg. Mission 4 Stavelot. I captured all objectives yet the game didnt finish. I finally went cease-fire only to find I had a 'total victory'. Shouldnt the game have finished upon capturing all objectives without myself having to declare a cease-fire? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howler Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 A scenario will abruptly end when the other side is broken. Otherwise, you must issue a ceasefire. There could have been pending reinforcements and/or a few units still in fighting condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The technique of having reinforcements that may even arrive after the scenario time limit is reached is a way to stop the AI surrendering "prematurely". Players used to complain that the game would end abruptly just as they were about to execute their wonderful final assault plan and it was a let down - like coitus interruptus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AI has a pretty good sense of self evaluation I think. Usually by the time the AI offers me a surrender I tend to examine its remaining assets and manpower and really most of the time I feel that it made the call at the right time. Usually but not always it seems to favor the presence of at least one unbroken formation of troops with a functional command link running up to the Company/Battalion commander, whoever is present. Usually when scenarios seem to be going on too long it has more to do with the lack of tools on the player's end than what the AI has. Just what I see. 2 hours ago, Erwin said: Players used to complain that the game would end abruptly just as they were about to execute their wonderful final assault plan and it was a let down - like coitus interruptus.

MikeyD Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Scenarios often have other points-earning parameters besides terrain objectives. For some scenarios the terrain objective points are a token amount (an excuse to get you from one side of the map to the other) and you rack up the big points in killing-killing-killing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
