Official Answer
Battle Goals and Scenario Completion
- At the start of every scenario, each character secretly receives three battle goal cards and chooses one to keep, discarding the others (p. 17, p. 8).
- The chosen battle goal provides an additional challenge for the scenario.
- If the scenario is completed and the character meets the criteria of their chosen battle goal, they gain the number of checkmarks specified at the bottom of the card (p. 17, p. 48).
- For every set of three checkmarks, a character gains a perk mark (up to a maximum of six extra perk marks for 18 checkmarks) (p. 17, p. 48).
If a Scenario is Lost
- If the scenario is lost, the character receives nothing from their battle goal, regardless of whether the goal was achieved (p. 17).
- This means that even if a character fulfills the criteria on their battle goal card during a lost scenario, they do not gain any checkmarks or rewards from it.
Summary
- Battle goals only grant rewards if the scenario is completed.
- If the scenario is lost, no rewards are given for battle goals, even if their criteria are met.
