When do you score points for controlling a battlefield - do you get a point when you move to an empty battlefield and end your turn, and another point if the enemy does nothing on their turn?

Ruling: You score a conquer point immediately when you take control of a battlefield (after combat/showdown resolves), not at the end of your turn. You then score a hold point if you still control that battlefield at the beginning of your next turn.

Sequence:

  • Move units to battlefield
  • If contested, resolve showdown/combat
  • If your units control the battlefield, score a conquer point (once per battlefield per turn)
  • Continue with rest of turn
  • At the beginning of your next turn, if you still control the battlefield, score a hold point

Nuances:

  • The conquer point is scored before your turn ends, not at the end of turn
  • You can only score one conquer point per battlefield per turn
