Solo Wargaming - Example Playthrough (Pic Heavy)
And The Winner Is....
In a points count, the human forces were way ahead at the end of the day. From that perspective then the battle can be considered a human victory.
However, were we looking at the game from the perspective of an on-going campaign, it would be a Pyrrhic victory at best. The remaining human forces (a single cannon, one unit of handgunners, half a unit of spearmen and a light cavalry squad) are not sufficient to hold the pass against further incursions. In fact, had I pressed on for a couple more quick turns the remaining goblin forces would likely have been sufficient to wipe out all the remaining human forces (save perhaps the pistoliers who would be able to outmanoeuvre the infantry, leaving them threatened only by dubious massed goblin archery). The goblin leader would then be free to lead their forces through the mountain and raid with relative impunity.
Any other would-be monstrous warlords in the area could now easily lead their forces through the unprotected pass and on to mayhem. from this perspective then, the outcome loss more like a loss for the human faction.
