If a unit is controlling an enemy HQ marker, it scores the Capture Enemy HQ secondary objective and two control points. If a force controls both its own Firebase marker and HQ marker, that force scores one control point. The force with the greatest number of control points in a turn scores the Sector Control primary objective. VICTORY CONDITIONS If neither force has at least 3 primary objective points, the primary objective is considered a draw. ESCALATION PARAMETERS Level Low Med High Modifier 0.75x 1.0x 1.25x
