When a player’s victory objective requires his forces to exit the battlefield, each unit, that exits the battlefield from an opponent’s baseline hex (Breakthrough) or from his own baseline (Withdraw), gains the player one Permanent Victory Banner. To breakthrough or withdraw, the unit must be ordered and the unit must already be on the opponent’s or his own baseline hex and move off the battlefield. Moving from a baseline hex off the battlefield, counts as one hex of movement to exit.
Time Pressure Victory Banner Objective
When Time Pressure rules are in effect against the attacking player, he is racing against time. The defending player, after playing a “Scout” Command card, may draw 1 Command card and take 1 Permanent Victory Banner instead of drawing 2 Command cards at the end of his turn. Taking a Permanent Victory Banner is not possible, if doing so would give the player his final Victory Banner to win the battle.
