A Tiered Scoring system will be used for the event, with the number in parenthesis to the right of each mission noting the required Victory Points differential that must be scored to achieve a major victory. For example, if a scenario states “>3” then the Major Victory is awarded to the player if they score GREATER THAN 3 Victory Points more than their opponent.

BATTLEPLANS

First Blood
Power Struggle
Power in Numbers

At the end of each game players work together to determine the victory points achieved by each player during the battle. Once the total number of victory points is determined for each player; players then use a differential between those points to determine the margin of victory. The differential in points should be referenced below to how the round is scored.

The result is scored for that round.
