GreenAsJade Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Do individual casualties in a squad count towards victory points, or only eliminated squads? IE is it the same to kill 10 men, one in each of 10 sqauds as it is to kill one 10 man squad? Ta, GaJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omi Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Individual casulaties counts. 30 casualties from 3 eliminated squads is the same as 30 casualties from 9 operational squads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 IIRC it makes a difference to lose the LMG or a MP44 than just a rifle or SMG in a squad, they have slightly higher value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 When I programmed the VL Calculator per Treeburst155's formula, points for casualties are calculated based off of the actual costs of units in the scenario editor. Maybe Mike will see this and comment more on how he came to that finding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Something I always wondered, are VPs calculated differently depending on what level the unit was purchased at? A squad purchased in battalion formation costs less than one purchased in platoon formation. But does it give less victory points?

Redwolf Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 No, the discounts do not apply to knockout points. Can be a bad surprise if you buy a gazillion of halftracks in a battalion and just place a ton of thin knockout points on the map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 That makes sense. I would have considered it a bug if discounts did apply. Jason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
