In Battle of the Bulge Campaign, Buying Time mission how to interpret mission objective?

Briefing says: If the Germans reach the bridge, the mission is over.

Objective listed in game is as follows: Do not lose the bridge VP.

The way I see it is, if flag at bridge VP change hands mission fails, the reason I ask is because that happened to me but I succeeded to recapture it back and eventually won after 20 turns expired. So how this mission objective should be interpreted?

The text is probably in error. I just checked out the script and the victory conditions only start their check at turn "40" which is turn 21 or after the Germans have made their turn 20 move.

Probably should be fixed for the next update.

The scenario text string for this is IDS_ACH_BRIDGE and it should not have "ACH" in it as it is NOT an Achievement but a part of the Victory Conditions. Maybe rename it as IDS_BRIDGE-VIC?

Pip taught me the difference while I was building one of my missions.

Good catch and something that may be confusing other players too!

Either that or perhaps just redo the Victory Conditions so that if the Objective is ever taken the scenario ends to go along with the text.

Thanks for clarification Old_Warrior!
