RE: Counting Battle Scenarios in Invasion 1944
Basic answer is no. This has been a conundrum since battle and mini-campaigns became standard in the PG-verse.
Robin first tried to address the problem by adding battle games on to the end of the scenario lists as separate scenarios. That didn't work too well because it adds 20-30% to the scenario count of a game. It also means one would need to play the same side through the battle game, which is reasonably likely but not assured. Then what if players are just going through the scenarios, but not the battle games?
At the moment we are without a functioning plan. Whatever it is will likely require new code. That might have a retroactive requirement in play entry and may not necessarily be applicable to both sides in shared play. Even if, they would be a rather large recursive matrix to get to the results.
Even with that done, there still isn't an award scheme. Should be a bump in play counts? (I don't think so.) Should be a ribbon badge? Ribbons are probably out, as we already have game ribbons. Maybe devices on or under the campaign ribbons. That assumes the recording issue gets solved.
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!
