Close Combat: The Bloody First – Victory Locations

On each map there are a number of Victory Locations. Each one is marked with the flag of the side that controls it, and represents either important strategic locations (an exit road corresponding to a map connection) or other points of military interest. Victory Locations controlled by neither side are represented by a split flag. To capture a victory location, move a combat unit near the location.

NOTE: Snipers and fleeing or separated soldiers from a damaged vehicle or crew served gun cannot capture terrain and thus cannot take control of Victory Locations.

The battle will end if one side controls all Victory Locations on a map unless you have turned off this option (All Objectives Taken) in the Mission Settings on the Command Screen . If the Two Minute Warning option is enabled, a two minute timer begins to count down as soon as one side captures the last Victory Location. During this time the losing side must recapture at least one Victory Location or they will be forced to retreat off the map.

Victory locations are also used to score a battle. Each victory location is worth between 1-3 points depending on its position and importance. The larger the text for the name of the Victory Location, the more it is worth. Victory locations along map borders are generally worth only one point.
