Objective Mode Question

By player1577763, in Tannhauser

I have a question for objective mode. The rules state that you must have four objectives complete to win the game, and that you can claim an objective already claimed by the opponent. So, if the Reich has completed an objective, and the Union comes along completes the same objective, is the Reich flag removed? In other words, does the Reich have one less completed objective?

And if this is the case, can an objective go back and forth being completed by each side?

OR, do both sides have it completed at the same time?

The first would make more sense to me.

Thank you!

I'm not sure if both players can have the same objective accomplished at the same time, or if the flags are replaced.

But the rules do say you can only accomplish an objective once.

You should submit this to FFG's question form, there's a contact us link at the bottom of the website. If they give you an answer please post it here.

This is my favourite mode and one objective can be completed by both sides.

Rules pg.31

"A player may not accomplish the same objective more than
once, although a player may accomplish an objective that his
opponent has already accomplished, and both players may
both be “halfway” accomplished with the same objective at
the same time."

It doesn'y say anything about replacing. So one objective can be completed by both sides imo. But you could send question to be more sure of that :) .

I interprete this rule exactly like Falco, played it in this way. But asking FFG is a good idea. Please share the clarification with us...

You guys were right, this is what they said...

"On page 31 of the Revised Rulebook, just before the "Victory Conditions" it states that a player may accomplish an objective that his opponent has already completed. So, just as both players can have an objective "halfway completed" both players can have the objective "fully completed." The objective completed by both players means both players have 1 point to count toward their total of 4."

That is what it sounded like, but I don't know how much sense it would make. If one team was setting a bomb and the other diffusing, how do they both have this done at the same time?

Well, Objective mode is one of those loose logic modes like Capture the Flag, it has more in common with a "war game" training exercise than a mission.

I guess if you want everything to make sense, you'll have to write some scenarios, or play the ones already out there. : )

Folks,

I have another question about objective mode; can you have one character (e.g Eva) doing half of the objective and another character (i.e Karl) completing the objective for the same side? or does it have to be the same character to complete both halves of that particular objective? I think I'm not understanding the rules fully on page 30/31?

Any help much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that multtiple characters from the same faction can be used to complete a single objective.
