Surrender rule not working re:NM

[Reiver]

Playing April 1861 Campaign.
CSA army (145,000) men surrendered at Winchester after seige.
Text report said USA would get 67 NM and 670 VP's.
USA got the VP's. But no NM was added to USA or taken off CSA.
So is the surrender rule not working for NM awards?

The message is erroneous, it seems there is a shift in the figures to display. It should be something like 7 NM and 67 VP I think.
I'll look at this for the next patch, thanks.

Pocus - thanks for reply - as this surrender was in Aug/Sept 1962 would not 67 NM be correct?

CSA losing its entire Virginian Army (145,000men) would surely be a near game winning event - in the game I was playing CSA should have surrendered immediately?

In the battles leading upto the seige of Winchester USA lost 45,000 men to the CSA's 15,000 and about 14 NM (circa 1 NM per 2,000 men lost over and above CSA's).

I lost 45,000 in five battles in Winchester area (in one two week period) and my troops failed to retreat so the CSA army went into the town.

Next turn they came out and fought one small battle (2,000 dead each) and then when back into the town. That was it - 2/3 turns later they all surrended?

I like to say I planned it but I had no idea I was attacking 160,000 plus men with only 135,000 (45,000 whom promptly died!).

Any thoughts welcome

indeed if the whole ANV surrenders in 1862 I see 67 NM and 670 VP as perfectly normal !!

For a given battle, you can't lose more than 10% of your NM, this is done for game balance purpose.
