Q: The town hex is a Temporary objective (not a turn start) for british player.
Get the british LC the objective town hex if it retreat/retire&reform onto it?
A1: A retire&reform unit can´t get the VP, because of the VP rules:
All other Victory Banners (temporary and permanent) are awarded during a player’s turn when earned.
Retire&reform don´t happen in the players (retire&reform unit) turn!
A2: A retreating LC however can get the VP, if the retreating takes place in the players (retreating units) turn
Example: It is the british player turn, and the LC attacked the french LN.
French plays a First strike and rolls 2 flags. Now the british LC retreats still in his own turn onto the objective town hex.
