Victory ConditionsRangers
1) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 8 units from the Primary OPFOR before the conclusion of Turn 10.**
2) Prevent the recon unit(s) from returning to their safe zone
**Note that the game does not automatically end on Turn 10
OPFOR
1) Destroy, cripple, or render incapable of spending MP, at least 2 Ranger units and the liaison unit.
2) Move one or more units to within 3 hexes (inclusive) of the northeastern and southeastern board corners, spending 1 full turn stationary, then return to within 2 hexes (inclusive) of the eastern board edge. Both corners must be scouted and the "information" from that corner returned to the western board edge to count as a scoring unit.
MISCELLANEOUS
1) Exiting the battlefield requires a unit to remain stationary at the board edge for 1 turn. Only a single spent MP is required to move offboard (ie, the environmental MP penalties doesn't apply; or, more specifically, the Minimum Movement rule overrides it). Convoy units may only exit from the southern board edge.
2) OPFOR MechWarriors will attempt to capture any ejected Ranger MechWarriors in this scenario, unless a Ranger BattleMech target in LOF is equally as close (or closer) than the ejected MechWarrior, or the Ranger BattleMech target is within 8 hexes and subject to a valid LOF in any case. OPFOR MechWarriors will attempt to kill any ejected liaison pilots in this scenario; as long as no Ranger units are a valid target within LOF and within 8 hexes of the firing Draconis unit. KIA liaisons can have contract implications later in the Contract.
