Goal of Game
== Overview ==
Immediately win the game by either placing a troop on (one of) their HQ or capturing the required number of medals (varies by chosen map).
The game plays over a series of turns, until an HQ is captured by a Troop, a player gains a majority of Medals through region control, or a player cannot perform any more actions.
If the game ends (by a player being unable to draw or place a troop) without anyone immediately winning, whoever has more medals wins. If tied, the player who ended the game loses.
 
Each player has 24 troops--8 types with 3 of each.
