Great - I was going to suggest that. Just like World Cup stadiums

1) It is easily visible on the end game screen
2) It is not manipulatable. Some other tiebreaker suggestions in the past have been things like number of units left on the field, or number of wits left, or number of wits worth of units left on the field. The problem with these are, once a player knows he has won (and the opponent may not even know it yet), it is very easy to draw out the game and increase any of these numbers. You can't do this with your base health!

Base health isn't a very good indicator as it can be a long dragout fight with the loser having a heavy and soldier 1 turn away from winning.

The number of turns taken may be a better sign of a close match, so it could be something like this (with adjusted values for the size of the map):

< 15 turns - 4 pts
< 30 turns - 3 pts
< 45 turns - 2 pts
Over 45 turns - 1 pt

Between Number of Turns and Base health , one of them can be used as the tie breaker.
