WDS has now confirmed that the game titles are not correctly displaying losses for the Union in game titles checked. [Since my original posting I has also noticed in an Antietam scenario the Victory Dialog does not show any Supply Losses but does show Supply Point Losses as they accrue (at a rate of 1 VP for every 5 supply losses [other titles could have different rates] They intend to verify the point calculation for supply and attend to the matter in the next update later in the year.
There's still no clear understanding of what occurred in my Peninsula battle so if anyone is playing a scenario from that title it would be wise to pay attention to supply in the Victory Dialog. I'd certainly like to know of other experiences (good, bad or indifferent) in that title.
Supply point values are assigned in the scenario header and can be adjusted in the scenario editor.
Unfortunately, changing things in the scenario editor will not rectify this matter. It's something to do with the programming codes.
For example:
According to the Victory Dialog in Peninsula 08a the Victory Dialog showed the USA with 1,260 points. The CSA showed 471 losses for 235 points (a 2:1 ratio).
I recall the CSA losing a few supply points but nothing approaching 471 [it look like the game is either counting supply used as losses and/or reversing losses and points.
Equally, if a 2:1 ratio applied for the USA then that means they incurred 2,520 supply losses. The USA did lose a lot of supply (CSA captured two intact ones) but not over 2,500; more likely something in the vicinity of the 1,260 which is showing as Points.
