Stalingrad victory conditions?

I'm getting a loss result when I expected a marginal victory. I have every objective (gold rimmed on strat map) other than Baku?

Anyone know why this is happening?

I think you are missing Baku (or what the town is called), very far down right.

Remember for most VC`s it is to keep and hold at least one turn, so when you have certain turns to achieve them, remember to deduct one to hold them.

No he's right, this is a bug.

Briefing for Stalingrad:
Major Victory: Capture all objectives with at least 10 turns remaining.
Marginal Victory: Capture all objectives except the Caucasus (Maikop, Grozny, and Baku)

The problem is the game triggers have not been properly configured. The game is looking for 13 victory hexes, but there are only 10. The final three are actually secondary objectives.

Thanks for the report!

Yes I mentioned that in my post? Its required for a decisive win.

I captured the fort on the last turn, so I guess it didnt count as captured?

I reloaded an earlier turn and captured the fort 1 turn earlier and still a loss.

So as it stands for a marginal victory i need to cap all objectives before the last turn?

Whats the difference in for a marginal vs loss result for this mission? Different debrief message/less prestiege points?

there's no difference at all as far as i see
decisive or marginal or loss give player 2880 prestige and all lead to Kursk
