Six player variants

Great Britain as a non-player country

Setup

British corps II, III and Cavalry are placed at full strength in Flanders-Holland. All other forces are under Turkish control until the Crimean war ends or 18 months have passed. After this Britain reverts to rules below.

Turkey also gets 10$ each economic phase from Britain and may assume any supply is paid by Britain if it is technically possible to do so. British $ is not tracked.

British leaders are not available, except naval leaders.

British builds do not join the Crimean war.

As Crimean war ends, Denmark and Portugal become British minors.

British builds

December economic phase, each year (except the first such economic phase) Britain builds the following forces:

• Ships:
  • Amount of money spent equals 100+10 for Denmark/Portugal, -60 if at war with America, plus any gifts received from other players.
  • Type of ships:' Roll 1d10 and add 1 for each full year of play. Britain builds ships of the appropriate type with all available money, then the next ship type below and so on until all money is spent or no ships can be built with what is left.

Roll	Ship
11+	Ironclad or Steamship if IC not available
9-10	Steamship
6-8	Heavy ship
2-5	Ship of the Line
1	Frigate

• Land forces: Britain builds 2 corps. The corps built are the cheapest ones available.
• Greece also builds forces. Roll a die. On a high roll, Greece builds a corps. Greece begins with no troops.

British Deployment

While at peace, Britain deploys forces in following priority:

• Flanders-Holland (if controlled) 3 corps
• Greece (if controlled) 2 corps + 2 Greek corps
• The rest are placed in England (reserve)

Greek corps can not enter Turkey, Russia, Sweden or Norway.

If Britain is at war, control of British forces goes to:

1. The country whose call Britain responded to.
2. To anyone at war with the major Britain is at war with.
3. Unless Turkey controls any of Transylvania, Podolia, Crimea – Turkey.
4. Austria, Sardinia, Turkey, Prussia, Russia, Italy, France, Germany

• Forces in reserve are available against anyone and are deployed at a rate of one corps per economic phase unless Britain declared war, then 3 corps are available at the beginning and then one per economic phase.

• British forces in reserve are available only if Britain has naval superiority.
• British leaders are permanently attached to corps as follows:
  • Lord Cardigan – Cavalry Corps.
  • Lord Raglan – I Corps.
  • Williams – VI Corps.

Britain, allies and war

Britain accepts alliance offers from anyone, but no PP is gained. This does not limit Britain in any way, but allows both sides to call to allies and money to be given to Britain. If Turkey and Britain are allied Turkey gets 5$ each economic phase Unless Turkey controls any of Transylvania, Podolia, Crimea.

1. The country whose call Britain responded to.
2. To anyone at war with the major Britain is at war with.

• If declared war upon, Britain calls all allies.
• If an ally calls Britain, Britain responds only if the defender is Turkey unless Turkey controls any of Transylvania, Podolia, Crimea. Britain also responds if attacker is dominant. Otherwise, Britain breaks alliance.

1. Anyone controlling Denmark
2. Anyone controlling Portugal
3. Any dominant major power
4. Anyone controlling Sweden
5. Anyone controlling Norway
