Scoring

This is no biggy.

Playing a ww2 campaign I'm 5 scenarios in and acheived 3 complete and 2 marginal victories but the scoring in the marginals looks wrong considering I held all objective and 80% odd of enemy was either routed or retreating.

The scoring was 1874 95

Art overload 408 299
2282 394

I think the only reason it was so low was due to scenarios ending before I could completely damage more units.

Is it possible to take into account routed/retreating units when calculating the score?

I think decisive is only awarded when you win by a factor of 7 or 8.

I also think you took too much arty, which kinda made it a lot more difficult to get decisive.

From the manual:
Your victory point score is calculated as: VP = (Total points from objectives) + (damage points scored on the enemy)
Your opponent gets the same calculation but obviously scores off your destroyed and damaged units, plus his victory hex points.
The 2 sets of VP are expressed as a ratio to determine victory. The victory result is then determined as follows


decisive victory - your ratio of points is 8 times the enemy's or greater
minor victory - your ratio of points is 2 times but less than 8 times the enemy's score
draw - whenever either side scores less than 2 times against the other side.
minor loss - your opponent scored a minor victory over you
decisive defeat - your opponent scored a decisive victory over you

Please note that partially damaged units count, so if you do 23 points damage on a 100 point AFV, your score 23 for that damage.So you DO get points for routing units as they are almost certainly damaged. and as pointed out you are giving away a great deal of points in the artillery overload.

Taking too much artillery if you are not an assaulter can tip the balance - as it seems to have done here.

Remember that ammo supply units count towards overload. Also any core arty (including ammo units) will increase in cost as they progress in a LC.

Yeah, I realize art to high, came from upgrading 75mm to 25pdr and some 4.5in.

No biggy as I said.
