• +1 point if you K*ll your opponent’s highest ranked officer
• +1 point if you keep your highest ranked officer alive
• +1 point if you K*ll your opponent’s most expensive unit
• +1 point if you keep your most expensive unit alive
• +1 point if you get one of your units within 12” of your opponent’s table edge at the of the game
• COST OF WAR – calculate the total amount of points you’ve lost, if a unit is 50% damaged (or an Armoured Fighting Vehicle is IMMOBOLISED) then it’s 50% of the total. Any free units that have suffered damage or are destroyed, costs are applied accordingly.
So, for each game you can score between 5–20 points. In cases where you have multiple officers of the same rank or units of equal value as your most expensive, you must nominate to your opponent which is your highest ranked officer and most expensive unit before either player chooses table sides.
