Victory condicitions for Poland?

After fierce battles all over Poland (and 16 turns), I finally marched into the heroically defended Warsaw. I immediately captured it right after my Cavalry purged the city.

But! Though Cracow was defended by my Mountain Inf guys, Lodz by my recon unit, and Warsaw has fallen, i did not get a victory! I thought that capturing VHs is enough.
The polish launched a counter-attack, and recaptured Lodz.
As I didn't have enough power there to take the city back, I lost the scenario (and thus the campaign.)

Why have I done wrong? :roll:

The three VP`s are Warsaw, Lodz and Krakow I believe, you have to capture and hold them all.

Hold them for a whole round (your turn+enemy's turn), or just capture them (this was the case, as I lost Lodz right after capturing Warsaw.)

I believe it is capture and hold... as you lost Lodz... you were denied your sublime victory Herr General! :wink:

Yes, you need to capture them and hold during the enemy's turn. This is a test of your victory: do you hold your possessions strongly enough? In PG you could, for example, capture the last VH with a lonely paratrooper, while there were still 10 enemy units around it, and this counted as a victory. So, we tried to make it a little bit harder for you.

Can we add a pop up message when you have all objectives to tell the user that they must hold them through the enemy turn
