Missions and Scoring

There will be a variety of missions available to play throughout the day, and each table will be host to a specific mission which shall suit the layout of the table.

The scoring system is as follows.

Win – 5 points

Each table will have a single secondary objective, in the form of a 50mm based objective marker. Controlling the marker at the end of the mission will award the player 2 points in addition to the points gained from the win/draw. Please do not reposition this objective. There are also additional points available in the form of tertiary objectives that can be completed to increase the points from each mission. You can only claim each tertiary objective once per event and you may claim a maximum of 3 per game.

The tertiary objectives are as follows: -
