First, as an introductory scenario with the victory conditions that you note and once as a component of "Delusion" with the following victory conditions:
Players score victory points (VPs) as follows:
Australian
● One for each Japanese step eliminated.
● Three if the village hex is under Australian control at the end of play.
Japanese
● One for each Australian step eliminated.
● Five if the village hex is under Japanese control at the end of play.
Minor Victory: Achieve three to six more VPs than your opponent.
Major Victory: Achieve at least seven more VPs than your opponent.
Which is what Jay provided upthread from the Kokoda Trail scenario and what was submitted for publication for Kokoda Campaign. When the document was provided for the game a decision was made by the publisher to remove the duplicative scenarios and refer to the introductory scenarios as appropriate for the Battle Games in order to reduce the size of the document and its consequent cost (I believe). I apologize that the victory condition change was not noticed by the publisher as it represents a significant difference resulting from the higher complexity of the full rule set.
Thanks for the clarification. When we got to that scenario, it seemed sort of pointless to play it since both of us had the pivotal requirements, and the VP's would then decide the battle winner. So, with no VP's for the scenario as listed, meh? This makes perfect sense and it's too bad that it got edited out....might be good to throw it in as an errata here until an updated rules booklet is printed?
