Thanks for the update beta!

I do have perhaps a suggestion
as far as victory conditions, i just played the sea lion campaign, and within the 19 turns that scenario lasts, i wiped the RAF and royal navy off the map, captured the entire london city area, and surrounded the single objective point left, the one in the far upper left corner (I forgot the name already), and was within 1 turn of capturing it, thus fulfilling the terms of the objectives.

Realisitically, there should be perhaps a more thorough shake down on assigning victories or not... like destroyed units ratios of both sides, perhaps point values of each unit figured into the calc of those remaining at the end of the set time, and number of minor cities held. To clear the skies of the air force and the seas of the navy, and to capture most minor cities and all but one major objective, and to be within 1 single turn of achieving the final objective capture, yer be told at the end of the game, it was an allied victory, seems unreal to me.
Ideas, comments, would be appreciated. I love that a set battle can be finished in a few hours at most, and its very easy to do and to customize by building new units (like fighters to get air superiority).
Thanks again

This would require implementing variables into the editor, which is a functionality that does not exist yet, but it's something we've talked about on the game's wishlist.

Thanks for the very quick reply, and also for including all of us in the open beta...

I would be happy to discuss some sense into how a marginal Sea Lion victory ends in you being thrown off the island anyway, but feel this is not the proper thread to do it in. Feel free to start a new thread on the subject, collegeprof86!
