8. Victory Conditions
Total Victory claimed when one team has annexed all 3 opponent players by default end date of 1936 campaign.
Victory claimed by Victory Points if both teams have at least one player left by default end date of 1936 campaign.
If both teams achieve a Total Victory, earlier date/time of last opponent annexed, wins.
If both teams achieve a Victory, the more total Victory Points, win.
If one team achieves a Total Victory and other achieves a Victory, Total Victory, wins.
As most victories are likely to be decided by annexation of last opponent player, it is very important to fight till the end as even one more hour that one holds will decide if his team will win or loose.
