We'll take on the devil, all in due time. No need to rush th...

Winning points/Controlling an objective

Can someone please take a few minutes to explain the nuances of gaining points and controlling an objective. I'm playing Scenario 3. I have one brigade with one commander; Merideth. How do I 'control' both objectives; Hertz Woods and McPhersons Ridge?
