An army with the Reconnaissance Force Disposition facing one with Priority Assets is dealt Search and Scour as its primary mission.
The opposing army is not playing the same mission: it is dealt Vanguard Operation. Reading only your own card is how a game gets lost from in front.
Reconnaissance against Priority-Assets. Central-objective control pays at end of turn, alongside a payout for destroying enemy units that started the turn inside a terrain area. From the second battle round, per-objective non-home control pays at the end of your Command phase. End of battle pays out if no enemy units are wholly within your territory.
Primary scoring is capped at 15 victory points in a battle round and 45 across the game.
