There are 3 offensive objectives, eliminate more steps, control an east-west road and control all town hexes. One of the towns sits on the east-west road.- First question: Does controlling the road also mean controlling some or all of the town sitting on it?
- Second question: If the answer to the first is yes, would any contiguous path through the town and connecting to the road hexes constitute "the road"?
P.S. This is a Fire in the Steppe scenario. The portion of the road in question is on board 4.
My thought would be , yes, you have to control enough town hexes to ensure a contiguous path.
When controlling a road is part of the victory conditions, it represents the ability to pass reinforcements and supplies through the board, and if the road goes through a town, if you need to send supplies down the road, you also need to be able to send them through the town hexes.
Controlling some or all of the town is a good question. Would you treat town hexes adjacent to the road different from woods or clear terrain hexes adjacent to the road?
