Rolica; French 1st position - Victory Conditions

Well, the victory conditions about the 2 markers
of the hills speaking from

are Victory Banner objective hexes for the British player. If a British unit occupies an objective hex at the start of the British player’s turn, the British player gains a Victory Banner. As long as the unit remains on the objective hex it will count as a British Victory Banner

Before upcoming different minds in (tournament-) games,
it should be confirmed, that the "portuguese" units counts also as "british", for the VP.

Or i played it wrong so far, and indeed only "british"
units get an VP, if they occupy one of the hills.

It would have been better in several places if the word Allies had been used in place of British.
Richard has confirmed in all previous cases that British Refers to Allies unless specifically stated elsewhere.
It first came up over questions as to if the Portuguese get there own card hand as they are not British, it also effects officers, who Richard ruled are interchangeable, so I see no reason why a British victory Banner should not be claimed by an Allie on behalf of the British, especially as there are no Portuguese or Allied victory banners in the game.

The two town hexes are Victory Banner objective hexes
for the British player. If an Anglo-Portuguese unit occupies
an objective hex at the start of the British player’s turn,
the British player gains a Victory Banner. As long as the
unit remains on the objective hex it will count as a British
Victory Banner. If it moves off or is eliminated, it no longer
counts.

Because in the scenario "Combat at Aire"
(see above), the portuguese and british (anglo) units
are named direct.
So it could be possible, that in the Rolica senario indeed only the british units may capture a VP.

Interesting point.

The generally accepted way of interpreting rules in C&C Games is:
Scenario Special Rules override all others.
Cards Override Basic Rules.
Anything not expressly stated in the basic rules is not allowed.

The problem is that whilst sanctioned by Richard, each scenario may have a different author and therefor no consistency in special Rules.
For that reason I don't think we can read a scenario Special Rule to infer anything in other scenarios as a result.

May be worth asking Richard to clarify on ConsimWorld.

Hi guys,
posting answer just received from GMT Games (in the person of Mr Tony Curtis)

Alessandro,
Yes the Portuguese units count as British units for occupying the hill hexes for victory banners.
Tony

And I do think this can be applied to all other scenarios (British <--> Portoguese).
