End of game debriefing

Simple question is there an end of game debriefing after the "Pacific in Reach" in the campaign? It is not a big deal, but after the victory screen it just returned to the main menu. I guess after becoming history's greatest general OKW just tells you "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out". :mrgreen:

It's tough, because while the removal of debriefings is a positive, in this case it hurt the game.
No one misses reading 'grats you won' written in 4 degrees of enthusiasm, in every single scenario you beat. But the inability to debrief after key moment, especially with strategic or historical information is sorely missed. The game does have a nice victory screen at least, with a nice display of unit stats and accomplishments.

We'll see if we can do better, especially moving forward.

Should at least have a victory parade, complete with ticker tape and airplane(jet) flyovers. A medal presentation would also be nice. :D

...And perhaps even a 'Personal' commendation from... "Dear Leader".

What I would love to see added to the victory screen is a mouse over for the awards showing the unit's progress. Currently you can go into each unit individually and see their progress, but the victory screen is a nice summary of all your units and it would be nice for those who are following their units to be able to see how close each unit is to each of the awards (without cluttering the screen - so a mouse over seems ideal).

Hey Kerensky I agree about the routine debriefing, gets repetitive, thanks for looking into something for end game situations going forward. Yes the victory screen is also nice, help me appreciate the high turn over rate in my strategic bombers, like a German 8th Air Force.

Said it before and will put my +1 here in the hopes of this getting implemented. I do actually miss the grats you won in 4 different degrees of enthousiasm. Mostly because it gives some historical background -> Did poland actually fall after the second mission? Did the Russians invade as well? Why do i invade Norway? Yes i can search that stuff up outside the game, but you really shouldn't have to. You give me a task, please tell my why and what i achieved. We get only tactical advice, but not strategical advice and i think the game loses immersion and excitement because of it.

Still think the game could be better if end briefings would be there for every mission, even if there is only 1 degree of enthousiasm. All other Panzer Games had end briefings too as far as i know. Really curious why they were taken out.
