Objectives & Scoring

Objectives are claimed at the end of each Battle Round. Units may move onto, leave, contest and fight over Objectives throughout the Battle Round, but ownership does not change until the end of the Battle Round. At the end of the Battle Round, determine which army controls each Objective and update its ownership accordingly.

At the end of each Battle Round, determine control of each Objective. Add together the DC of each individual model your army has on that Objective. The army with the greater total controls it.

Battle Shocked models contribute no Objective Control. Leaders and Support models contribute their own DC like any other model.

For a multi-model unit to count as being on an Objective, at least half of its models must be physically on or overlapping the Objective’s footprint, rounding the required number of models up.

A single-model unit must have its base fully on the Objective footprint. If its base is too large to fit, the majority of its base must be over the footprint.

A model or unit cannot straddle multiple Objectives and count towards more than one Objective at the same time. There is no additional control radius around an Objective.

A Home Objective remains controlled by its owner even if no friendly models remain on it, unless an enemy army claims it.

Once an enemy claims an opposing Home Objective, it is treated as a normal Objective for that enemy. The enemy does not continue to control it after leaving unless a rule specifically says otherwise.

A Primary Mission uses 3 cumulative scoring tiers: Success, Strong Success and Complete Success. Each tier has its own listed VP value based on the difficulty of that milestone. Easier requirements are worth less; harder requirements are worth more. A higher tier can only be scored if every earlier tier has also been completed. The 3 tiers of every Primary Mission total 15 VP, so no Primary can score more than 15 VP in a single Battle Round.

An army can score a maximum of 45 Primary VP during a battle. Once that cap is reached, it cannot score further Primary VP, but it may continue to score Secondary Missions normally.
