Title: Victory points for hulks
Post by: mr_Berg on October 28, 2012, 12:48:57 PM

Hey,

Just started playing Battlefleet and I have a quick question about victory points for hulks. When do you gain these for hulks?

Reading the Rulebook on page 66 its quite clear that you gain 50% for each hulk if your fleet is holding the field. But in the FAQ2010 it says in the first paragraph on page 15 that you only gain the additional victory points if the hulk is still on the board (obviously) and if the winning side holds the field.

Does that mean that you calculate victory points for crippled/destroyed/disengaged ships and then, if the winning side holds the field, it gains additional victory points.

OR

Is the winning in the sentence a mistake and the additional victory points goes to whatever fleet holds the field?

Cheers

Whoever controls the field gets the extra vp. Im not sure why they worded the FAQ that way. It sounds like they were addressing a problem with people trying to count hulks that had drifted out of the playing area maybe?

Thanks for the answer. It was what I thought, makes the most sense but the wording in FAQ is a bit weird.

Cheers
