Post Your Final Score!

[Kiane]

I just completed the final scenario, and so it's time to throw down your scores for bragging rights. I got a score of 7914, post yours with some proof!

I thought restart was a 7% of current score penalty? Maybe it got toned down in the final release. A pity if so, I think restarting should carry a hefty score penalty!

Wait, really? You might be right, it does feel like a percentage decrease. Maybe it's percentage+fixed

From the manual:

Restarting carries no prestige penalty, only score is deducted. penalty (based on the score prior to the restarted scenario).

Must have been an unfinished section of the manual.

I'm curious, how did you do the Race Across France scenario all objectives complete within the time frame? It's a bit insane how far you have to travel, how few units you have, the AI tendency to entrench in cities and that random French armoured division spawns on the far left side of the map making it useless for the first few turns...

You can spend a truck card to mobilize your entire army. Also don't get tied down by stragglers. You should be able to reach Nancy outskirt in 2 turns just in time for the enemy spawn.

I could't reach Nancy in 2 turns even with a tank, stragglers always block the main railways, and the southern push just lacks units. I don't think I can do this one, I've failed twice already, and my score is going to take a beating now... unless I figure out what to do. I hate these kind of scenarios the big open ones with less units than the enemy and stupid amounts of ground to cover. Also I don't have a truck mobilisation card.

I raced on the northern rail towards Verdun with one tank and towards Nancy from the river crossing near Langres, i avoided stragglers that route on most of my attempts. Reach Nancy on turn 3, blocking the reinforcements from spawning.

I think some scenarios can be almost if not impossible depending on how you have spent your prestige. I forgot to upgrade my army headquarters several times and it became a pain in the ass.

Just finished my first full campaign. 11717 on classic.

I was doing some of the battles for the first time, but I also have a lot of beta testing under my belt.

Mostly gold victories, some regular victories and a handful of restarts (4, I think - Husky, Avalanche, Battle of the Bulge and Rhin et Danube)

I did the accelerated Italy path, but didn't take Trieste and so no Ljubljiana. Also I took the "Continued Operations" path and so missed out on the Scheldt battle. I had some notable wins (all objectives on Market Garden), and a few lucky wins as well.

I could perhaps manage 13000 if I did classic again - the 2 late-game restarts hurt my score quite a bit! But I reckon I'm ready for hard now. Here goes.

Restart is only a 50 score penalty. You only see huge decreases in the score display when you restart because it deducts the score you get in the unfinished mission.

It's not 50, it's 2% of score. I just tested this to make sure. So a restart at end of game when you're up around 10000 points will cost you 200 or so...

[tomislav.uzelac]

The penalty is 2%, capped at 50. We changed this based on beta feedback, it used to be a flat 7%.

The penalty is deducted from your score as it was *before* the restarted mission, which should be fair.

First, we deduct the score from the mission you restarted, then we deduct the penalty.

Cheers!

watch when you aproach river rhine, you will need river crossing and attacking with french and usa 7th armies, same goes for crossing river po in last italian scenario, this time you need river operations with british 8th.
Worth noting is that its my first try in unity of command 2 (didn't play 1 at all). When I saw that you must purchase river crossings, I immediately though of rhine river, but had to look in discussions which armies do need it

[EvilShimbo]

8232 On Normal Difficulty but without any restarts.

[Arthur 'Bomber' Harris]

Lmao finally did it, I just bum rushed my tanks all the way to Nancy and left my Infantry to mop up. Godamn never want to do that again that's for sure....

[uhamster9]

2% capped at 50 sounds nice. Now I won't feel bad restarting, haha.

Actually you know what would be nice? Undo an entire turn button in battle. I wouldn't mind a 50 score a turn penalty if it means I get to undo a really silly mistake.

[Dogmeat]

im seeing if i can get a negative score from all my restarts

[More Like Trombley]

I must have restarted like 20+ times in order to get gold stars in every scenario. Race Across France, Rush to the Apennines and End at the Elbe (horrendous supply) scenarios particularly took more than 3 restarts each.

[Tigga]

Ended with 12768 on Classic on the second run through. Hard 12000+ is going to be tricky I think unless there's a score bonus for difficulty or hard isn't as hard as it sounds. I was completing many missions several turns early, so maybe it's fine.
