Question about Victory Condition in Buying Time.

CharlyG · Post by **CharlyG** » Tue Nov 16, 2010 1:46 pm

In my last game "Buying Time", as German Player I've captured the bridge (7 turns remaining), and in the replay I've the following message "The germans have captured the bridge. There is no way to stop them now", then I've Objective Failed Message.
I would like to know if you only have to take the Bridge or Bridge and all Flags and if it's Bridge and all Flags why stop the game after taking Bridge.
Thank you.

I haven't played this one but the BSF script for the scenario is written so that once the bridge has been taken by the Axis the victory conditions are met and the game stops ... the Allies have failed their objective of defending the bridge to allow it to be blown (20 turns). It doesn't look as if the Allies have an opportunity to counterattack.

You are not playing HotSeat are you?

I've played this game with another player, using normal multiplayer system.

It sounds like a bug in the scripting then. What message did the allied player see? Can you check and let me know.

My opponent (Allied player) has the same message : Objective Failed.

Hi CharlyG

Are you watching the replay of the Allies last turn, i.e. the one telling the Allied player he's lost the bridge in the Completed games section? That may explain why you are seeing the "The germans have captured the bridge. There is no way to stop them now", and the Objective Failed Message.

Cheers

Hi there,

I just finished the game on Axis side and got the same result as CharlyG. I don`t know, however, what my opponent`s message will be as I don`t have contact to him outside the game and it`s a pity that the game doesn`t allow the second player to response in chat after the match is done.

Since the only objective seemed to be the bridge I neglected the others as well. And "the germans cannot be stopped anymore" indeed sounds good to me when you are playing the german side, ...somehow it doesn`t sound like failure.
