Different scenarios have different victory conditions. Make sure to read the scenario victory conditions carefully. In many scenarios, the player with the highest victory point total is the winner at the end of the game, but the scenario may specify more specialized victory conditions. For example, in the “At the Breaking Point” scenario, the American player wins by having his units occupy certain hexes specified by the scenario, and the German player wins by preventing the Americans from occupying those hexes for 8 rounds.
If, at the end of a victory point scenario, both players have the same number of victory points; the player who has the initiative at the end of the Status Phase is the winner of the game.
