Broken scenarios? - LarkinVB - 08-31-2020

Campaign Gettyburg, Scenario 4. Sharpsburg (var. 21)

4 x 1000 VPs all starting owned by the South.

How is the south supposed to win if it isn't possible to reach and hold all of them (only 24 turns and a large distance to travel)? The Union can achieve a minor victory without fighting and a major victory by just occupying two locations.

Are there more broken scenarios like this in this Campaign?

What seems weird to me about this scenario is the fact that at the start, when all four objectives are controlled by the CSA, the victory dialog shows objective points zero (for the Union as first side), a draw. Shouldn't it be -4000, major defeat to start? Even after one turn and capturing one objective, the total is 1000 pts., a minor victory. Its like it's ignoring the Confederate control of the other three...

Also strange: the CSA wil receive reinforcements at turns 12 (and later) of 24 where it is obvious these can't reach any meaningfull objective or battlefield.

EDIT: We called it quits as the scenario is a union default win without a need for combat.
