SAI-CE victory points

[sinbad]

Hi
I do like your game!

I have a question about campaign victory points.
I'm not able to understand the system by wich they are calculated

An example
Baltic campaign, playing with imperial russian navy
After about 1 year of minelaying actions, and forays, I've a slight advantage over reichsflotte, about 80.000 points.

At that point, I'm able to force german fleet in an important open battle, near Gotland isle.

I'm able to sink 5 german predreadnought battleship!

But unfortunately, my BB sevastopol is torpedoed and sunk
I have another BB heavy damaged, 2 B dameged, 3 DD sunk
Germans have lost 5 DD, 2 TR, and CL and Ca medium damaged

In my opinion I've got a minor victory, or a draw, considering the lost of one of my precious Gangut class

Computer tells me that I've got a major victory, and now I've an advantage over germans of about 150.000 points.

But, reading details and damage points, I can see that I have gained 134.000 points
    B Braunschweig Sunk! 29020
    B Elsass Sunk! 29020
    B Schwaben Sunk! 23408
    B Wittelsbach Sunk! 23408
    B Siegfried Sunk! 8376
    TR Anna Pieternella Sunk! 7056
    TR Emil Kirdorf Sunk! 2940
    and so on

, but loosing 125.000 points or more so
    BB Sevastopol Sunk! 86228
    BB Petropavlovsk Medium damage (in port) 12072
    B Andrei Pervozvanny Heavy damage 9531
    B Imperator Pavel I Heavy damage (in port) 7347
    DD Okhotnik Sunk! 1848
    DD Voisokovoi Sunk! 1812
    DD Emir Bukharski Sunk! 1632
    etc

Difference is very slight, about 9.000 points, according my personal evaluation.

But then, why computer - starting next turn, tells me that I've an advantage of 155.000 points over germans? (abot 75.000

more than before Gotland battle???

thannks in advance^!!

Hard to tell, if you have a late save from the scenario I could check it out.

[sinbad]

wow!
30 minutes for your first answer!!

here you are
turn 41, before gotland victory (?)
turn 42, after

c2344 is a save just a few hours before ending, and the battle is finished

Thanks, excellent! I should have mentioned though, for a campaign game with a scenario in progress there will be two files, a sca-file and a sac file. I need both to be able to open the save.

[sinbad]

sorry

for "caimpaign file turns" you didn't need sac file, right? I can' find them

I'm able to find it only for scenarios in progress

When I close out the scenario I get about 30,000 points up on the Germans, though that may vary as there was some fighting with the Oleg and Bogatyr getting into a scrap with some German light cruisers. So the total VP advantage goes from 75,000 before the scenario to about 115,000 after which seems reasonable to me.

thanks, glad to see everything is ok!

GREAT GAME!!

campaign game is marvellous
quoting phoenix...
"Much more enjoyable and engrossing then the scenarios. More detail, more things to keep track of - a much more engrossing gaming experience. Great design. Love the way actual history is a constraint on resources and the march of events. Love the fact that your big fleets might never meet."
I do agree!

Thanks for the support, and glad to hear you like the game!
