Common rules
- If the minor in question is conquered, then no war is declared. Poland is an exception to this rule.
- If the minor in question is a free state, then the controlling major must also declare war on the defending major or else the free state declares independence and goes to war. If the controlling major does declare war, the war is fought normally and no special rules connected to minor wars are used.
- If the minor in question is a free state of the defending major, then nothing happens.
- If the minor in question is independent, the control is resolved by war, not allied -priority towards the defending major. In cases where multiple majors with equal priority status want control, the decision is resolved as per normal minor country control rules.
- When the war is over, the borders between the minor and the defending major are returned to status quo, unless specifically mentioned otherwise.
- If a major country surrenders to a minor, the minor will always accept a conditional surrender, taking extended peace and reparations as it's first choice peace conditions. Denmark, pirates and Hungarians cannot be surrendered to.
- Minor countries have no such thing as enforced peace when attacking.
Persian invasion
The Persians have three infatry, two cavalry corps and six depots.
- Infantry corps: 9 Infantry
- Cavalry corps: 8 Light Cavalry (Morale 2)
The invasion lasts for 18 months or until their home province is conquered (when attacking Turkey it is Georgia, when attacking Russia it is Armenia) or until 40 factors have been killed (factors dropped into garrison count as killed even if retrieved). Any Persian corps that is on or next to a Persian depot in the Levy step of December each year is reinforced to full strength. These factors do not count against killed factors.
Confederation of the Rhine
The Confederation consists of Hannover, Hesse, Baden, Bavaria, Saxony, Wurttenburg, Berg, Kleves, Duchies and Mecklenburg.
The independent and free state countries attack the major which has the most conquered member states of the Confederation under it's rule. Free states do not apply. In case of draw, the Confederation attacks with the following priority: Prussia, Austria, France, Great Britain, Russia, Spain, Turkey.
The Confederation loses if any of the capitals of the attacking member states has been held by the defending major for 3 months or after 18 months of war have passed. The winner gains 2PP.
The Confederation wins if it manages to recover even one conquered member state. The controller gains 2PP.
Gustav of Sweden
If Sweden is a player country, the Balkan revolt happens instead.
Roll 1d10 to determine the defending major.
| 1-7 | Sweden attacks Russia |
|---|---|
| 8-9 | Sweden attacks Prussia |
| 10 | Sweden attacks Great Britain |
Sweden loses the war if 18 months have passsed or if the defending major conquers Finland (if at war with Russia), Mecklenburg (if at war with Prussia) or Stockholm (if at war with Great Britain). The winner gains as many PP as Sweden has provinces.
If Sweden wins the war, it takes Karelia from Russia (if all majors involved in the surrender accept this), or reparations.
Baltic Sound toll
Roll 1d10 to determine the defending major.
| 1-6 | Denmark attacks Great Britain |
|---|---|
| 7-8 | If Sweden is a major power, Denmark attacks Sweden. If not, Great Britain. |
| 9 | Denmark attacks Prussia |
| 10 | Sweden attacks Russia |
Denmark loses the war if 18 months have passed or the defending major has conquered Copenhagen.
The war can be brought to an end at any time by paying Denmark 20$ worth of sound tolls.
Winning the war is worth no PP.
Colonial war
Roll 1d10 to determine the defending major.
| 1-6 | England (Control according to Holland) |
|---|---|
| 7-8 | Spain (Control according to Portugal) |
| 10 | France (Control according to Holland) |
The defending major is attacked by Holland and Portugal. France and Spain lose their American trade for the duration of the war if attacked. The British lose half of their colonial trade if attacked. Additionally Spain gets a -2 modifier to the Spanish Gold Convoy table for the duration of the war if attacked.
Holland and Portugal lose the war if either Amsterdam or Lisbon is conquered or 18 months have passed. The defending major gets 1 PP per belligerent minor for winning the war. If Portugal and Holland win, they take peace conditions as if a single entity and put preference on reparations over extended peace.
Hungarian insurrection
The Austrian insurrection corps revolt. The revolt end when the insurrection corps have been killed to the last man or if 18 months have passed. The isurrection corps cannot win the war and no PP is awarded for winning it.
Mediterranean pirates
Roll 1d10 to determine the defending major.
| 1-4 | Spain | Control preference: Turkey, Great Britain, France, Austria, Russia, Prussia |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Austria | Control preference: Turkey, Spain, France, Great Britain, Russia, Prussia |
| 6 | France | Control preference: Turkey, Great Britain, Spain, Austria, Prussia, Russia |
| 7 | Great Britain | Control preference: Turkey, France, Spain, Russia, Austria, Prussia |
| 8-10 | Turkey (Knights of Malta) | Control preference: Spain, Austria, Russia, Great Britain, Prussia, France |
The pirates have 2 fleet counters and 2 corps, each with capacity of 8 infantry.
Against all but Turkey the pirates have the following forces: 2 frigates, 1 ship of the line and 1 infantry for each independent or Turkish controlled Ottoman harbour.
Against Turkey the Knights of Malta have 10 frigates, 5 ships of the line and 4 infantry for each of Malta and Cypros if not under Turkish control.
In addition to this Austria, Spain and France are allowed to gift the Knights between 0-2 manpower in each economic phase. For each manpower recieved, the Knights gain one infantry factor that can be placed in either Malta or Cypros if not controlled by Turkey or reinforced straight into their corps.
The defending major loses 5$ in every economic phase per each pirate / Maltan fleet counter on Mediterranean sea areas or blockade boxes. In addition Great Britain, if defending, loses half of it's colonial trade and Spain, if defending, has a -2 modifier to the Spanish Gold Convoy table.
The pirates / Maltans lose the war if any of their capitals has been conquered by the defending major for 3 months or if 18 months have passed. Alternatively Spain, Austria, Great Britain and Spain can pay the pirates, if defending, 50$ to end the war immediately.
Winning against the pirates is not worth any PP.
Polish revolt
If Poland is independent, it will declare war on a random major power with a conquered Polish province. The randomization is done in relation to how many Polish provinces each major has. The war will be fought as any normal war against Poland except that Poland also wins the war if it conquers a Polish province of the defending major for 3 months.
If Poland is a free state, the defender is resolved and the war works as above, but Poland has the forces of the free state.
If Poland does not exist as independent or freestate, a random Polish province revolts. A Polish corps and 2d6 infantry rise up in the province, in an area with no corps of the defending major or it's allies. The province gets a guerilla value of 3. If the revolt manages to conquer all of the cities in the province, the revolt is successful and the province becomes independent. If it is attacked, it has a third of the forces of a normal Poland. If the reborn Poland grows to 3 provinces it becomes a again a fully independent Poland with full forces. The revolt is defeated if the defending major conquers all of the cities in the revolting province for 3 months.
Balkan revolt
One random Turkish-owned feodal province (not Anatolia or Armenia) revolts along with it's feodal corps.
The revolt succeeds if the feodal corps keeps control of the province for 3 months. If the revolt succeeds, the province becomes independent unless it was originally a province of another major power, in which case it defects to the original owner.
The revolt is defeated if Turkey destroys the feodal corps or if 12 months have passed.
Controlling or winning the revolt is not worth any PP.
