I had a couple questions that would apply to abilities like Dying Lunge or Parting Shot, roughly revolving around whether you can win the game right before your opponent would otherwise.
The short version would be:
QuoteIf you reach 40+ VP by defeating a figure during one of these abilities, does the game end before "Then you are defeated"?
The long version would be all these questions I bombarded my friends with:
Quote1) If one of my figures was defeated and would put my opponent at 40+VP, I could still play Dying Lunge. If I defeat that figure and get 40+VP, does the game end before "Then you are defeated"?
2) Conversely, if I defeated a unique figure but would have <40VP, is there a window for Celebration after defeating their figure but before "Then you are defeated"?
3) Lastly, if the figure would put me at 40+VP, can I still play Celebration in case we both compare totals over 40VP?
The RRG has this clear-cut entry, but I wasn't sure if there was any precedent established to fully resolve those abilities and reach "Then you are defeated" before actually accumulating your VPs.
QuoteRRG p.25
Winning a Skirmish Mission
The mission ends as soon as one player has accumulated 40 or more victory points (VPs). The player with the most VPs wins the game.
Thanks!
