Matrix Games Forums

I made a list for myself of rules exceptions for each major power. Each MP seems to have special abilities or restrictions, and while most are obvious some are not. At one point I thought about asking, but best way to learn something is to teach a class. I may be missing a few, but here's my list.

Optional and/or not yet implemented:
 
'7.3.1.1 MOVEMENT ALLOWANCES: ...French controlled minor free state corps having an infantry symbol and having their "3" movement allowance number in parenthesis the allowance is "4"...' May be implemented at the time of reading.
 
'12.3.2 BRITISH TRAINING: Great Britain proved quite adept at turning certain minor country troops into first-class soldiers, notably the Portuguese and Hanoverian (the "King's German Legion" or "KGL") troops that they trained. Under this option, after 24 continuous months as a British-controlled minor free state, the morale of the army factors in the Hanover or Portugal corps is considered to be "4.0" for both infantry and cavalry in those corps. Garrison infantry factors of these nationalities retain their usual ("2.0") morale.'

Wow! It's only -1 for losing? It used to be -2 (in the board game). This, coupled with Nappy not losing his mind as he aged REALLY makes France a tough target.

Opps - my bad; you are right its lose >2< extra pp if Nappy loses a combat.

I would really love to see a summary of the Political Point (PP) Changes programmed&nbsp;in EIANW.....
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

French infantry morale of 4.
Should also be mentioned if you asked me

Caveat regarding end-of-game -- at least in the original version of EiANW (i.e. pre-patch) the game did not automatically end after December 1815, so unless that's been changed since 1.0 the British cannot win simply by denying everybody else their VP total.

Regarding Spanish gold -- if at war with Britain, a bad gold roll results in the British getting 15$ and the Spanish getting zero.

A port directly controlled by Prussia (read conq, not FS) is limited in the ship types it may build.

Turkish feudals may be removed from the map during any land phase, and placed at their previous strength in their home province during any subsequent land phase (or at full strength during Dec. economic phase -- levy step).&nbsp; Handy if the Turkish player is broke, and the feudal corps aren't in range of an enemy to attrit.

Russian +1 morale bonus is only for a 'Defend' chit; Turkish morale bonus applies for A/EA/CA/ECA; Austrian combat bonus applies solely for Cordon against a river crossing, IIRC.

Russian +1 morale is only if the Russians are defending and picked the Defend chit against Probe/A/EA; Austrian combat bonus applies to any Echelon -v- Cordon.
