Victory Points
- The side with the higher points at the end of the day (12 hours = about 24 turns) wins:
- The city is worth the loss of 5 Iranian tank platoons = 15 points
- The control of the road leading north (no enemy within direct fire range) is worth 5 points.
- Iranian Infantry losses worth 0 points
- Iranian tank/SP gun losses worths 3 points per platoon.
- Iraqi tank/other vehicles or gun losses worths 1 point per platoon.
- Iraqi combat teams/infantry losses worths 2 points per platoon.
Comment
24 game turns are many for a one game day, but home rules are such that third world army units suffer from slowness in order execution, a low level of losses and high ammunition expenditures if isolated, so maybe we will manage !
