EIA:Revolution track

Notes

• Revolution track is activated at start of the game. The track is to be used with The Revolution (phase I) and The Rise of Napoleon (phase II) campaings.
• Those events followed by an asterisk "*" should be treated as effects that are "permanent if not later overruled"
• If the track reaches any event with a label "PHASE # starts" change corps compositions according to the said phase.
• There are also events 48 and 49 which are resolved by conditions explained in the event number 47

How to use the track

A simple draw lots from a hat -algorithm:

• Get some suitable object that acts as a ballot box.
• Scissor paper-tickets equal to the total number of tickets the track has in your campaign (see below).
• Separate tickets equal to the amount of resolvable events in your campaing (see below), these are called the winning tickets.
• Write a number one (1) or "win" or "viva la revolution" or whatever you choose to those winning tickets, leave other tickets blank.
• Put all the tickets into the ballot box and shuffle them properly.
• At the start of each turn draw one ticket from the ballot box:
  • If it's a blank ticket, nothing happens
  • If it's a winning ticket, revolution track advances one step forward.
• Do not put an already drawn ticket back to the ballot box! At least not until all winning tickets have been drawn.

For some, it might be more convenient to write a simple software to perform this operation. :)

Phase I campaign

• Revolution track has 180 tickets, 47 of which are winning tickets that trigger an event.
• At the start of the game track-step 0 is active.

Phase II campaign

• Revolution track has 112 tickets, 27 of which are winning tickets that trigger an event.
• At the start of the game track-step 20 is active.
  • So yes, you still got those 47 events listed below, you just skip the first 20 of them as they would have already occured.
    • Yes, this does mean that any effect described as "permanent if not later overruled", that has occurred and not since overruled by the other events between steps 0 to 20, is active at the start of the game
