Bug: PBEM Campaign Possible Retreat Bug

[PanzerBob]

Has anybody run into a problem retreating---

Everybodies exited, Not even a crew on board!! (most of force wiped out) and the VH are taken and the game still refuses to end!!

You just have too scaredy a force

Now you have to play occupying forces for some turns, driving around pillaging, burning down houses and stuff .

Is this a campaign or something, this isn’t one of these times where suddenly reinforcement pops up, that you have to beat first?

Everybody = you or him?

If it is the AI that is "wiped out" then there may be forces close to an objective hex that you don't know about (yet) or the AI may not have brought all its reinforcements on map yet.

Its a PBEM campaign I have all flags all but 1 for several turns. My force is pretty healthy last few turns Bob has just had a couple of Tanks on map then crews now nothing. To my knowledge he has 1 bat of 155 offboard & 2 air left which is all I have seen for last 5 turns.
Have a save if want my side but think his probably more useful

No save needed.

Games will end when the code decides - and as there are random factors mixed in there it can take several moves.

all flags all but 1

However there will be no early termination unless you have all the flags.

I had my Commander, his truck, two Armoued Car FO's and 4 SPAAA assets plus a crew, this was what was left and all moved off board. Plus the Off-board Support a 152mm Battery and two Sturmoviks, Lost my Tu-2's.

So it seems this still quite the random event, OK I'm used this several times now to good effect, (live to fight again another day)

I guess the thing which struck me is my enemy had wiped me out in a well executed pincer moment, I left a few forces behind to cover the retreat with arty and air support, just figured once my rag tag band skuttled of the board it would have been game over.

My last retreat in MBT got me a Draw, and since the objectives were out of the question, I pulled pin and got out of Dodge. Nice fighting retreat and a Draw.

Thanks Andy
