VP Thresholds in manual and game do not match?

I noticed that the VP thresholds listed in this file: http://www.shenandoah-studio.com/Forum/ ... e.php?id=1 do not match the ones listed in the game help file. I believe the ones in the game are accurate (at least the game seems to use them) so maybe the file should be updated. I have never won the game on the 16th, though, so I'm curious whether the threshold for the 16th is really 25 VP? That would require eliminating every Allied unit on the map. The pdf file actually lists the threshold for the 16th as a just-slightly-less-unachievable 19 VP.

The range was deliberately chosen to be wide enough to make it essentially impossible to win on 16 - easier than having a special rule for 16. But the rules and game should match -- will look at it for the next rev, thanks for catching it!

There actually is a special rule for the 16th: no victory is assessed. Ending the game at a single Axis loss seemed wrong.
