Scenario outcome/victory screens - possible problem?

This prob was showing up in a custom campaign first, but it looks it also affects the main game. It's mainly a cosmetic issue, but I'd like to know if it's WAD or not.

Problem: PzC has three different victory screens in ..\Panzer Corps\UI\outcome

They're named after the victory types, I assumed they are used for that purpose, so after each scn you'd get the screen meant to represent the specific outcome. But it seems that is not so?

I first found out that of three custom screens for the campaign I made only one gets displayed regardless of outcome. The text "above" the pics is correct for the specific outcome, but you get to see the pic for DVs in the back every time. That is with GME active.

I then tested it with vanilla GC 39 v1.5 and all mods inactive since I couldn't remember if there were different victory screens displayed at all.

Same result, only the DV screen is showing, even with MVs and losses (at least that is what I got after ending several campaign scns via cheat code). That is in the main game the pic showing the German soldier pointing his MG to another soldier surrendering.

Is it WAD that the screens for MV/loss are never shown, or does anyone get them?

From our debate in the scn subforum it looks I'm not the only one getting this problem.

I don't know if it's WAD, but it's definately a long-standing issue with the game - I remember reading about it long ago, and appearently it hasn't been fixed since.
I'm guessing it's a very minor bug Rudankort hasn't deemed worthy of fixing - yet, or possibly at all.

I see, well at least that would clarify it. A fix for this would be nice, but yeah, I can imagine this is not the most serious issue...
