How does this work? I see Britain gets 74 points for it, but I don't see any reference to it in the rules. And it seems the Brits get it even if Portugal is taken by France. See the attached picture....

I believe that the 74 pts. for Port.Independence is what has accumulated so far. Britain keeps those points. That number should stop rising every turn with Portugal under French control. If you lose control, it will start going up higher again.
At least that is how I understand it. I don't remember seeing anything in the manual about it either.

Page 8 of the manual:

Britain & Allies
•• Major Battle Victories: 20 VP each
•• Major Nations Currently at War with France: 30 VP each
•• Major Events Played (Germany Rebels, Italy Rebels,
Liberate Major Nation): 30 VP each
•• Independent Portugal (Free of French occupation): 2 VP/turn
•• Death of Napoleon: 100 VP
•• France Surrenders: 50 VP

Interesting. I just finished playing a 1800 Second Coalition game and even after France took Portugal and converted it to a French minor country it increased from 74 when converted to 110 at the end of the game.

I cannot immediately duplicate this. I tried the 1805 scenario and the Portuguese Independence point total didn't increase after I captured it.

You didn't happen to save a game which shows this, by any chance? [:)]

Yes I do, but the upload feature will not upload a .dat file. Can I email it to you?
