If yes one mystery is solved..... those points were given to the Commonwealth player for German defensive artillery overload. If player 2 gets the points, it's player 1 that went over and that is confirmed after the end of turn one with the message:

Points granted to opponent for Artillery Overload
Player 1: 130 Player 2: 0

P1 ( Germany ) gives up 130 points to P2 ( India / Commonwealth )

If it's not that scenario then I have to start over so confirming if this is the one would be very helpful

EDIT 2:

Further tests indicate other older sceanrios produced around the same time all display Victory description messages after the Battle report screen but scenario #8 does not even when it is run using a 4 year old EXE so the arty overload issue isn't an issue for the reasons given in the first EDIT and running the scenario with an older EXE indicates the problem with the Victory report screen is at least 5 years old and not the result of any changes made with the latest patch. However, I have made a note on next years list to investigate this and see if a way can be found to correct that scenario so it will display the Victory message at game end but for all I know it may have been that way since day 1.

Thanks Don, you got it, it was indeed #8 Dickens I (Hill 445). Sorry for the memory loss. At the end of battle it was the Commonwealth who had 35 points subtracted from a 130-point overload, not the Germans. Since the Germans had an overwhelming advantage it didn't affect the outcome. Not something to worry about.

Seems that I stumbled on an out-of-date scenario that's not worth the trouble. Please don't go out of your way to correct this. You and Andy have already done more than enough, and I'm most grateful for your reply.

Cheerio and take a much-deserved rest. You've earned it!
