Removing units from map

[TheBigRedOne]

Do units which are removed from the map count as losses for VP purposes?

In a hypothetical scenario (close your eyes and ears, Ed) say I had enough Jeeps to make a decent used car lot which are useful as the proverbial teats on the boar hog. And say I'd rather remove them from the map than let them become casualties.

Will my opponent gain Victory Points for these units so removed?

Is it a "gamey" tactic which violate the high ethical standards of a gentleman's agreeement?

In most cases, if there is a exit hex, you will gain victory points for removing units from the board, not the opposite. As Jeff said, often there are scenarios based specifically on getting troops off the map. Since I don't know what scenario you are playing, it's hard to determine what tactics are best employed.
