Scoring Rules Overview

Victory points in Grimdark 10th Edition#

gd streamer tracks scoring for Grimdark 10th Edition games. Here's how the VP system works and how it maps to the app.

Game structure#

Each game consists of 5 rounds. In each round, both players can earn victory points from primary objectives and secondary objectives.

Primary objectives are determined by the mission being played. Primary VP is capped at 50 points total across all 5 rounds, with the per-round maximum adjusting dynamically based on what's already been scored.

Secondary objectives#

Each player has 2 secondary objectives active at any time. Secondaries offer additional VP based on specific in-game actions -- destroying units, controlling territory, completing tactical actions, and more.

There are two ways to handle secondaries:

Fixed -- choose 2 from a set of 8 before the game starts. These stay locked in for all 5 rounds. Simpler to manage.
Tactical -- draw from a 19-card deck throughout the game. More strategic with draw/keep/discard decisions. See Secondaries for the full breakdown.

Total VP#

Your total VP is the sum of all primary and secondary points across all 5 rounds. gd streamer calculates this automatically.

The total VP is capped at 100 for display on overlays and final results. Internal calculations use the uncapped total, but scoreboards and score banners show a maximum of 100 VP.

Command Points#

Command Points (CP) are tracked separately from victory points. CP are spent to use stratagems during the game. gd streamer tracks CP per round for each player.

CP has no cap
CP can go negative if game effects require it
CP does not affect the VP total or match result

Info

Some players prefer to track CP using a physical dice at the table. You can manually update the CP value through the dashboard or player input at any time.
