If you conquer one battlefield to reach 7 points with a unit, then remove that unit (leaving no units on that battlefield), then conquer the other battlefield, do you score the 8th point for conquering both battlefields?

Ruling: Yes, you score the 8th point and win by conquering. You only need to have scored all other battlefields in order to score the final point via conquering - you do not need to maintain control of the previously conquered battlefield.

Sequence:

  • Conquer first battlefield, reaching 7 points
  • Remove unit from first battlefield (no longer controlling it)
  • Conquer second battlefield
  • Score 8th point for conquering both battlefields

Nuances:

  • You do not need to simultaneously control both battlefields, only to have scored them both through conquering
