Naval pomot

Sotilasarvo: Naval boseja ei saa laittaa vapaasti, vaan korkea-arvoisimman bosin on aina komennettava parasta (=kalleinta) laivastoa. Tämä siis koskee vain bosien laudalle laittamista. Jos oikea fleetti ei ole vapaana, ei voi bosia laittaa. Tasa-arvolla saa valita. Joka reinforce faasissa pitää ottaa ainakin yksi väärää laivastoa komentava bosi pois.

Transporting troops

• Each transport can carry two (2) factors
• Artillery and cavalry factors count as two (2) factors each
• Transporting fleet always gets -1 in naval combat
• One fleet marker may carry only one corps
• A fleet carrying corps must have as many ships as there are factors in corps
  • Stack of fleets may carry corps equal to the fleet markers but the amount of ships can be divided between the fleet markers in the stack anyway the player chooses
    • e.g. Britain can carry two 10I corps with a stack of two fleet markers, with a setup of: Fleet1 18 SoL and Fleet2 1 transporter

Naval supply

• A fleet providing any naval supply must have at least one transport
• To provide invasion supply, one fleet must be stationed on supply providing port and other on a sea area adjacent to the invaded province. Each of the fleets must have at least one (1) transporter.

Hulks

• Hulks may be used to build (only) heavy ships, ship of the lines and transports.
• Using a hulk to build a ship gives 5$ discount and the ship is built in 3 months.

Naval Combat

• Every admiral can bring two (2) - and only two - fleet markers to a naval combat
• There is no reinforce step in naval combat
• Proportional losses are applied by ship type as in allied forces
• There are three rounds in naval combat just like in ground combat
  • For every combat round roll maneuver checks
