Combat Effectiveness

[Matt W]

To appropriately reflect the commander's performances the CE would have to include gradations for major and minor victories etc. While draws are useful stats with respect to a particular scenario it should be noted that many of the more recent scenarios have moved to an objective rather than a point based victory schedule that precludes draws but tends towards minor victories.

The real problem is that the statistic is based on data which, by scenario design, is not consistent so what are you measuring anyhow? The fact that Germans have a higher CE than the Soviets is more a result of scenario design. Either that or we all suck at playing the Soviets (always a possibility!).
