[17.0] Victory Conditions

General Rule:

These Victory Points are awarded for a variety of actions detailed on the Victory Point Schedule. At the end of Game-Turn Five, each side totals its Victory Points. If the Confederate Player has a total in Victory Points of 3 to 1 or greater than the Union Player (counting Points for elimination of Enemy units only), and if the Union Player does not occupy hex 1113, 1711, or 2401, the Confederate Player automatically wins the game. If, however, these conditions are not met, Players continue the game through Game-Turn Eleven. Points are then totaled for each Player (including those for occupation of terrain and exiting units). The Player with the higher number of Points wins the game. Players may wish to retain eliminated Enemy units and exited Friendly units to double-check their totals at the end of the game. Infantry Divisions are the six combat units with 10 or more strength points.
