About to begin scenario DN2 Chasseurs at Yvoir and we are hoping to settle a clarification in the VC's.

The VC's state the the Belgians "win immediately upon having >= 28 VP...of Good Order Belgian units" that make it over the river from the east to the west.

The clarification needed is this...what happens to Belgian units that cross from east to west, but are then broken/reduced/eliminated on the west side? Do they reduce the running total of VP? Or, are the VP's "locked in" once they cross.

The German player is of the mind that casualties on the "crossers" will affect the running VP total. The Belgian player is of the mind that the VP's for the "crossers" is locked in and is not affected by casualties.

Can we get a clarification, please? Thanks in advance.

Semper Fi!

Seems clear that as long as you have ≥ 28 VP of Good Order dudes from East ---> West the win is immediate, provided at least one hex of the bridge has been destroyed.

So if the bridge has been blown but you only have, say 25 VP on the west bank, you win as soon as you get 3 more VP across. But ALL have to be Good Order to add to the current VP total; if someone breaks, you have to either Rally them or replace those VPs with someone else. The "running VP total" as you call it can only ever be comprised of Good Order units when the total is calculated.

The German is correct. Let's say you get 14 CVP across and four CVP worth get broken. At the start of the next Belgian Rphse they fail to Rally. You now get another 14 CVP across. You have 24 Good Order CVP, not 28. If you keep all 24 CVP Good Order and rally the other 4 broken CVP, you have 28 CVP and win. It is immediate, but you need 28 CVP Good Order at that time.
