MISSION OBJECTIVE

Determine a victor using the Victory Points method. Each player gains extra victory points equal to the points value of any friendly unit in the enemy deployment zone at the end of the game.

RESERVES

Determine whether a reserve unit can enter by the normal method. Reserves enter by a player's own board edge. Reserves with the Deep Strike ability may enter play using these rules.

GAME LENGTH

The game lasts 6 turns.

LINE OF RETREAT

Troops that are forced to fall back do so towards their own table edge.
Note: Gaining Victory Points For Friendly Troops.
In this mission, additional victory points are gained for friendly troops. The points gained are based on the unit's points cost and depend on the state of the unit at the end of the battle. You get full victory points for units with at least three quarters of their starting strength or half-points for units that have at least a quarter of their starting strength. Full points are gained for undamaged vehicles and half points for damaged but mobile vahicles. No points are gained for units that have less than a quarter of their starting strength or are falling back at the end of the game. No points are gained for immobilised vehicles or units such as spore mines that would not give victory points if they were destroyed. 1
