Leagu #2640 game #366674.
erialc retires w/honor fuelless, while
I remain on the board.
The score is 38 (for Me) & (35 for Her).
The Damage math is easy I believe she recieved a considerably higher % (30-40 ?) yet the game was scored as "0" point tie.

(am I starting to sound like a whiner ?

Looking at the league scoring rules here
http://www.youplay.it/play/tn_Rules.asp YOu can see why that game is a draw.
Remember: Please note: a plane retired with honor, is considered still on the map. See the last paragraphs of the Blue Max rules for more info.
Is it a strategic? One side completely destroy the other and remain the only side on the map. So no.
Tactical? If, at the end of the game, there is more than one side remaining on the board, the victory could be tactical. Because erialc left with honor (see not above) it's no again.
Marginal? If the percentage of unit lost is the same, then we have a marginal victory only if the total points scored by a side exceed by more than 15% the points score by opponents. Both sides lost 0% of the starting force, and 35 * 1.15 = 40 so 38 points is not enough.
And that leaves a draw. If the percentage of unit lost is the same and the total points scored by a side does not exceed the other by more than 15%, no winning side is determined, and only personal score is assigned.
Hope that clears things up.

Brilliant answer.
