Ideally, you'd have a GM who was gung-ho enough to prepare for a
spectrum
of results, and you'd run a couple of events simultaneously to reduce
the
size of the spectrum.

"If Alphalians win Friday night's DS2 *AND* FMAS games, the Saturday
morning SG scenario is A1 (Attack on  Betan Base); if only one, A2
(Meeting
engagement); if neither, A3 (Defense of Alpha Starport)."  

Or you could change the victory conditions. "Your force is the rear
guard
holding back the Alphan pursuit.  Do not permit any Alphan unit to exit
the
east edge for 10/7/4 turns."

Or you could make all the actions independent but they affect the final
victory--"You lost the FT and FMAS, won the DS2 and SG games--your
insurrection has temporarily succeeded but the Imperial forces have
blockaded the planet."
