How the Campaign Works
The Map will be the same on as found in Red Thunder campaign. Each time you play a battle and win, report the win/loss to the B&P staff and collect your tokens. Then go up to the board and place your tokens on slots that you want to allocate your victory towards!
Getting Tokens
After each victory, you will be awarded tokens. according on the level of your victory as follows:
A 6 - 1 Victory will give you 5 tokens
A 5 - 2 Victory will give you 3 tokens
A 4 - 3 Victory will give you 1 token
These can be put on any region of the map that is connected by territory to one of your territories.
Capturing Territory
The Side with the most tokens on a single territory is considered to be in control. This would mean you would need two tokens to captures every territory which is native to the opposing side.
How about towns with VPs indicated?
This VP represents the amount of native tokens there are here. how deeply entrenched the enemy is. For Example, in the image below, Copenhagen has 3 Native tokens, for the soviets to capture it, they must place 4 Soviet tokens on it.
