"How can I drink the tears of my enemy?"
Now that the campaign is in full swing, it is a good time to talk about how to win this thing.
Note: All the items described here are in the full rules linked on the right. So, you know, read them? Please? The Dice gods favor those who read rules.
The objective of both forces in the Timbra Incident Campaign is to capture the enemy capital city.
That is Tile G on Timbra Prime and Flint.
Now you can't just move onto that tile and capture it at any time, you have to get through the defenses and gates of the city. Those are the Capital Gate Tiles, Tile E on Timbra Prime and Tile F on Flint.
The Capital Gate Tiles are where each team will launch their assault for the campaign victory.
It is important to note, that you can't move onto your own Capital Gate or Capital City Tiles, there are defense armies there already. No need to protect those tiles.
To help make the process easier, let's look at an example from Blue (Liberation Forces) attacking Red's (System Defense Forces) Capital City after the break.
Blue must take the Capital Gate tile first. This tile can only be entered by a blue army on a Ground Move order, which means they must start their turn on the planet. No flying in from space, the shield generators protecting the capital are too strong for a drop assault. The Blue army can only enter the Gate tile if, on the step the army moves, the Blue team controls a majority of all the planetstrike tiles on the map.
Let's assume the Blue team has majority control, so it now moves onto the Gate Tile. This army is now locked into a battle same as the other armies on the map. The battle rules are a bit special though and will be announced when an army arrives at the gate.
If the Blue army wins, the Gate Tile flips to the Blue team permanently, and the Blue army, on their next move, can move onto the capital city (even if the majority tiles change).
If the Blue army loses, it must follow all normal retreat move rules.
When the Blue army gets to the Capital City, they are locked into a final battle which is a group battle for both teams. This will be revealed when the attack happens.
