Objectives & victory points

An army whose Arete falls below zero withdraws. If neither side will fight on, the side possessing the slain wins; if neither possesses all the slain the battle continues unless one side asks for a truce. The loser (Atomenos) presents its Herald to request its dead, which must be granted, and the winner sets up a trophy.

If both sides have unbroken forces on the board, yet neither side will risk further combat, then the one who possesses the slain on the field.

Each Mexican player earns +1 VP per flag captured or Hero killed, and the player with the most wins individually. The Texians win as a team with a minor victory for 50+ Mexican casualty markers or a major strategic victory for 75+.

As a team, they win a minor victory by inflicting 50+ casualty markers on the Mexican army. Or…the Texians can win a major strategic victory by inflicting 75+

A gladiator with two of Apathy, Back to the Wall, Bleeding, Fatigued or Hurt may Raise the Finger and concede. A living loser rolls 2d6 on the Appeal table (+1 per Favour, -1 per Disfavour, etc.): 2-5 Iugula (killed), 6-12 Mitte (spared). Simultaneous exhaustion is a draw (stans missus); an optional ten-turn limit also ends in a draw.

A gladiator who has lost the match and is alive must roll on the Appeal to the Crowd Table, applying any relevant modifiers, to determine if the fickle mob will spare their life.

BVP are earned for kills (Taliban/ANA 2, ISAF 6), vehicles (5), scenario objectives (5-10), with -4 for breaking ROE. At mission end each player secretly trades each BVP for 3 VP or rolls one die per BVP and totals the pips, or any mix.

The player can then either trade in the BVP for 3 VPs each, roll one die for each BVP and total the PIPS OR any combination of each.

UN: +1 VP per successful Evacuate operation (which permanently removes a broken unit) and +5 VP for undisputed control of Hagaru-Ri. Chinese: +1 VP per Allied casualty not evacuated or restored by game end and +10 VP for eliminating a full Marine regiment.

+1 VP per allied casualty not evacuated or restored by the end of the scenario +10 VP for eliminating a full Marine regiment

The manoeuvre continues until one side's objective is reached and can then stop by agreement; a retreat may be part of the mission. Praise goes to whoever manoeuvred most naturally, grasped the General-Idee fastest and executed the disposition most consistently; critique follows the game.

Von Gewinnen und Verlieren in dem Sinne eines Karten- oder Brettspieles , ist also nicht die Rede.

Fight to the Finish scores 100 for victory, 10 per gun, 1.5 per cavalryman, 1 per infantryman, 0.5 per own man held prisoner and 0.5 per prisoner taken; drawn if both fall below fifteen men. Blow at the Rear is won when three men reach the enemy back line, forcing a six-move retreat. The Defensive Game pits a two-thirds strength defender against an attacker who must reach the back line with a quarter of his strength.

you score 100 for the victory, and 10 for every gun you hold or are in a position to take, 1-1/2 for every cavalry-man, 1 for every infantry-man still alive and uncaptured

Destroyed Squadrons score 2, Horse, Companies and Artillery 1. At end of turn 5 a 5-point lead ends the game (Decisive), turn 6 a 3-point lead (Clear), turn 7 a 1-point lead (Fair); turn 8 always ends it (Pyrrhic).

At the end of the fifth turn a player has an advantage of 5 points or more.

The game is not ended at victory but continues until the loser's commanders are off the board or captured, after which captives' fates are settled at the Block.

A victory is awarded to one side when the opposite side has all his wards either Withdrawing, in route, or already off the board.

Each side places balloons, an HQ and an airfield behind its trenchline, then rolls 1d10: 1-3 observation (altitude 4 or less over target), 4-5 bombing (three bomb attacks, hit 2+ at altitude 1-2), 6 directing artillery, 7 trench strafing, and fighter sweeps/scrambles. Games end by escape off the friendly edge, landing, capture or destruction.

One player from each side rolls 1d10 on the “Mission Table”, and then assigns aircraft and pilots to the mission.

The King of Tyre and the Carthaginian delegation must travel from the market and treasury along the main street into the temple's front door; the defenders' goal is to buy him time. Alexander must breach the temple compound walls in two places, enter the city and block the king's route.

The King of Tyre, Azemilcus, and the Carthaginian delegation must go from the city market and treasury building to the Temple of Hercules before Alexander's units cut them off.

Teams agree beforehand what constitutes victory for the scenario; play ends when the attacking force reaches its objective or the defending force has withdrawn from the board or been destroyed. The emphasis is on training critique rather than winning.

Combat ends when the attacking force reaches its objective or the defending force has withdrawn from the board or has been destroyed.

Germans win if both British ships are sunk and/or at Failed Morale, or there are at least 6 zones between the fleets; British win if both German ships are sunk and/or at Failed Morale. Michel scenarios use VPs instead.

The German player wins if both British ships are sunk and/or currently have failed morale -OR- there are at least 6 zones (counting diagonally) between the German and British ships.

The weaker force chooses to attack or defend. The attacker places 1 objective plus 1 per two defending units, all starting under defender control. An objective is captured by being the only player with an infantry Team within 4 inches; vehicles may contest but not capture.

The Attacker places objectives (1 plus 1 more for every two of the Defender's Units) on terrain 6" away from any table edge and at least 12" from another objective.

The British win by capturing the fort before 23 August; the Americans win by holding out to the 22nd, when news of Burgoyne's defeat forces a withdrawal.

The British win if they capture the fort before 23 August, and the Americans if they hold them off up to the 22nd.

Each game is three passes; scores are added and the winner declared.

Points would be scored for breaking lances and dismounting men. Three passes would be made per game

Each side gains 1 VP per enemy unit Destroyed and 5 per Supply base destroyed. Under 5 VP difference is a draw, 5-9 a Victory, 10+ a Major Victory. Destroying all three enemy Supply bases allows an immediate Major Victory.

Each side gains one Victory Point (VP) per enemy unit Destroyed (each Supply base destroyed counts as five VP's).

Freeman's Farm gives British VPs for holding the farm and creek crossing, killing leaders, minus for weakened units and lost guns, ending at turn 9 (nightfall); Fort St. Jean scores recovery of captured supplies, extricated bases and casualties.

5+ Victory Points = Decisive British victory 3-4 Victory Points = Tactical British victory Anything else is an American victory.

Each type sets a force ratio (1:1 to 3:1), allowed mines, positions and mission types, deployment distances, an objective, a length (12-20 turns) and victory terms. In the Delaying Action, victory level depends on the turn by which the attacker exits 10% of his stands off the defender's edge.

Player B must prevent Player A from exiting 10% of his stands off Defender's edge as long as possible.

The Crown must eliminate 26 Māori figure-equivalents; the Māori must eliminate 27 Crown figure-equivalents, with figures eliminated in hand-to-hand counting double. Each leader eliminated counts as five figures.

Objective: Eliminate the equivalent of 27 Crown figures. Figures eliminated in hand-to-hand combat count double. Each leader eliminated counts as five figures.

Back to the Boats (escape an ambush), Fight for Honor (Jarls duel; warband morale failures trigger a general melee), Pillage & Burn (loot buildings for Geld and capture Thralls). Separate scenarios include Ring the Bells (3-player monastery raid with victory points) and Capture the King.

Each scenario includes a map, a list of starting forces, the objectives, and victory conditions.

Players choose to play for a fixed time (e.g. 10 or 20 minutes) or until a casualty level such as 30% or 50%. Replaying the same battle with sides swapped is recommended.

Battle length and victory conditions matter! Are you playing 10 min, 20 min, or until 50% casualties?

Scenarios define end triggers and VP, e.g. Dodge City Draw awards d6 VP for wounding Updegraff and d10 for killing Bat Masterson, with penalties for citizens recruited or killed.

+(d10) VP for killing Bat Masterson -1 VP for each citizen in your posse

Core: +3 per broken infantry or cavalry, +2 per broken artillery, +1 per Shaken unit, plus scenario points; a difference of five or less is a draw. v4.4: +10 per broken command, +5 broken unit, +3 shaken, +1 worn.

If one side has six or more victory points than their opponent, they are victorious!

Victory is decided by breaking the enemy: the game ends when either side has lost over half its points, or after six turns representing nightfall.

The game ends when one side loses over half its points, or when six turns have passed.

Sum the tonnage dice x1000 and consult the honours table, from 0-6000 tons (U-boat War Badge) to 43,000+ tons (Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds). A sunk boat is a loss whatever its tonnage.

Your victory level is determined by amount of tonnage sunk on your patrol and whether or not you survived.

Missions include silencing the consort, punishing the evil merchant, retrieving the ancestral sword or stolen horse, rescuing a hostage and stopping a messenger, each with target location and opposing NPC profiles.

Here are six Ninja missions for the Shinobi to complete. They should be given randomly to players.
