How many points is a good final score?

Tue Mar 21, 2006 7:48 pm

I'm feeling a bit curious about what a respectable or good final score should be. Anyone have an idea or a result to share?
My first campaign just ended(I play slow,can't help it).
1775-1783 as the Brittish on hard,normal aggressivnes and extra time for AI.
All objective and strategic towns taken. VP:3696-1394.
I think I've done rather good but would be nice if that could be confirmed :)

Finished my first "long" campaign today. 1775-1783. Scored 4008 as the british. The yanks got 1254.

Great campaign - and the early years was especially fun. Howe & his Hessians pushed Washington back into Rhode Island in early 1776. John Paul Jones tried to evacuate Washingtons army by sea, but the Royal Navy sent them all to the bottom of the ocean. All objectives (except Pittsburgh IIRC) was in British control by the end 1777. 1778-79 was spent taking the remaining strategic cities (some nasty fighting in the backwoods) and turning back a French invasion of Virginia...

The final years was mainly "police duty". Perhaps the scenario should have ended after controlling all objectives & strategic cities for a certain number of turns?

Normally, as soon as the British control all 23 strategic towns in America and their objectives, they have an immediate victory...but ONLY if France has not joined the war by that time :niark:

I won a 1775 campaign American Victory with something like 27xx - 21xx. I then started as British and only need one more objective and 3 strategic towns and it is only mid-1777.

I just finished my first big campaign, 1754 as the French. 24XX to the British 12XX. It all ended in an epic battle with Montcalm vs Wolfe at the gates of New York in a snow strom. What an amazing game :dada:
