Victory Conditions - OB4 Headhunting for Bloody Huns

[Steve H]

The victory conditions for the Germans state they get CVPs for killing Kiwis, double CVP for exiting North, and VPs for remaining German units on board. Having just played it today, shouldn't the Kiwis get CVPs for killing Germans. Does the victory conditions have to actually say that? I mean...How do the Kiwis actually have a chance if they can't amass any CVPs of their own? Kill all 15 squads when they drop in the first turn?

The Allies don't need ANY CVP, only the Germans do.

Well, I think the only way they can win is to kill every paratrooper while they are still in the air then. Though I must admit, my opponent got lucky with 2/3 of his sticks landing away from the field of fire.

This one has always been balanced quite well. Played it a couple of times myself and would gladly play it for kidneys. Well, maybe gladly playing for kidneys is a stretch...

Running around looking for arms canisters can be taxing for the Germans.

I've played (and lost) this scenario (with Germans). I didn't see any problem with VC. Germans do it, they win. Don't achieve'em, they lose. And @Perry and @Carln0130 are both right.
[Edit] BTW, this scenario is a beauty. Word of a player that lose it and even so, was delighted to play it.

The NZ "do" have to kill Germans, in order to prevent the Germans from meeting the VC. They just don't get points for it.
