"Since this is a one-sided battle the goal isn't simply to win. Instead, each player is competing against his teammates. The Indians are competing to see which war band can win the most honors; the cavalry are competing to see who can last the longest.

The Cavalry company that keeps its guidon the longest is the Cavalry winner."
