Where does the Panther appear in the Brittany scenario? I just finished it for the first time. I took all of the flags and destroyed the port garrisons, but nothing!
EDIT: I figured out the glitch (I think). The scenario ends when all flags have been captured. The "bonus" ports are not flagged, so to win the bonus, the ports have to be taken before the last flag is taken. I had this figured out the first time around, so I left as the "last flag" the airfield next to Brest. No Panther. I tried it again, and this time left as my "upcaptured flag" the town to the southeast of Brest. The distinction between flagged town and flagged airport appears to have been decisive: this time, upon the capture of Brest, I received notification that the Panther was mine, and it duly appeared in the northeast corner of the map, in a swamp.
