Objective

Show the high-level reason players move units toward Battlefields.

Before

One point remains

The player has 7 points, one permitted unit, and an open Battlefield.

  • Player score: 7
  • Open Battlefield: uncontrolled
  • Player unit: ready to move
The objective and assumptions are visible before the action.
Action

Move to the objective

The unit moves to the open Battlefield under the stated assumptions.

  • Player score: 7
  • Battlefield: player unit present
  • Opposing units: none
The unit's location changes from base to the Battlefield.
Resolution

Take control and score

The authored state gives the player control of the uncontested Battlefield and one point.

  • Player score: 8
  • Battlefield: controlled by player
Control changes and the score rises from 7 to 8.
Why

Battlefields are the route to victory

Units and combat matter because Battlefield control advances the score toward the winning target.

  • Result: standard individual-game target reached
The example connects board position to the game's physical objective.
