“All units are equal, but some units are more equal than others.”--George "Wego" Orwell

The following table in the following post shows what your opponent receives (in Victory Points) for destroying one stacking point of your units--by type. Your opponent receives nothing at all for damaging one of your units; only their total destruction.

Assume a medium quality unit. The highest VPs will be awarded for destroying an Armor, Recce, Engineer, or HQ unit. So a destroyed medium quality recce company will net 6 VPs, a destroyed medium quality tank battalion will net 18 VPs, and a destroyed medium quality division level HQs will net 22 VPs.

Here are the stacking values by echelon of command. Multiply the stacking values by the VP quality value to get the final VP score.
For example, destroying a medium quality Army-level HQs will net 44 victory points

I will definitely be adding this explanation at the start of my next video, this coming weekend.
