B. NEW CORP STRENGTHS: The armies of the time period were significantly smaller than in the traditional 1805-1815 period.  Listed here are the new army corp sheets:

C. THE 1792 MINOR COUNTRIES CHART: The following chart covers the initial setup of the minors in the game.

D. FRANCE IN FERMENT

1. LEVEE EN MASSE: Up to twice during the game, during any desired Money and Manpower Collection Steps, the French player may declare a "levee en masse."  When declared, France immediately loses three political points each time (or, alternately, see Special Rule I below), but can collect four times the French manpower (including any conquered minor countries, but not French controlled minor free states) that would normally be available during the step.
2. AGRICULTURAL DISRUPTION: The revolution seriously interfered with France's time honored and largely feudal farming system.  As a result, there were a number of bad harvests during the 1790s (1793 being so bad as to threaten famine by early 1794.)  During all Economic Phases in September turns, the French player must total up France's total major power money (including conquered minor countries) and roll one die to "check the harvest" (round all fractions up.)  Modify the die roll by France's status modifier during the Money and Manpower Collection step.  Apply the result from the following table:

Die Roll	Result
6+	France gets normal Money
5	France gets half normal Money
4	France gets half normal Money
3	France gets quarter normal Money
2	France gets quarter normal Money
1 or less	France gets no normal Money

1. FRANCE NOT A DOMINANT POWER: During this game, the morale value of French regular infantry is "3.0" and France's total income is reduced by $10 on the Money and Manpower Collection Steps of every Economic Phase.  [Note: if option 11.8 is used, France may improve on this if it again becomes a dominant power.  Since none of the cases in 11.8.2.3 apply, France still gets to choose its spot in the sequence of a Land Phase.
2. BRITISH-FRENCH RELATIONS (Optional): If option 11.9.2 is used, its provisions still apply, but the following changes must be made for this game:

France and Great Britain do not have to start the game at war. The removal of the NAPOLEON/BONAPARTE leader is not required for France to surrender to Great Britain.

3. FRENCH FOREIGN RELATIONS (Optional): The absolute monarchies of Europe were reluctant (as long as France seemed weak) to deal with the regicides of the French revolutionary government.  Therefore, alliance with France may only be made when France is in the Dominant Zone on the POLITICAL STATUS DISPLAY.  Also, victory condition B.5 (Royal Marriage) cannot be used (either way) when peace is made with France.

1. INCREASED FORAGING LOSSES: Most armies in the 1790s were still tied to the depot supply system and their numerous mercenary soliders would desert in droves when supplies failed.  For all corps except the French, Russian and Turkish home nation corps and minor country corps from Asia and North Africa, an additional "+2" modifier applies to all foraging die rolls.  This modifier does not apply for beseiged supply.
2. BLOCKADE DIFFICULTIES (Optional):  All the problems involved in holding blockading fleets at sea were not worked out until the end of the period covered by this game and there is a chance the blockading fleets can be driven off station.

At the start of its Naval Step, a major power with one or more of its ports blockaded may select any one of these blockade boxes in which to "check the blockade".  To check the blockade, the blockade box is announced and all major powers having fleet(s) in that blockade box roll a die for each fleet while the blockaded power rolls one die.  Great Britain's rolls when blockading are always modified by "+1". If any blockading fleet roll matches or exceeds the blockaded power's roll, there is no change.  If the blockaded power's roll exceeds the highest blockading roll, all blockading fleets must be immediately moved into the adjacent sea area or areas (the controlling player's choice).  The blockaded naval power then performs its naval movement normally.

3. INDECISIVE NAVAL ACTIONS (Options): Although some admirals, notably "Black Dick" Howe at the Glorious First of June, were not adverse to fighting unconventionally, prior to January 1798 (when Nelson rose to command the fleets) naval actions were ruled by stilted "Fighting Instructions" and tended to have indecisive results.  Therefore, prior to January 1798, for any naval combat except when using harbor defenses (which are handled normally), the losses on both sides are halved (fractions rounded up).

H. IMPROVED HANOVER MORALE (Optional): If using option 12.3.2, consider that Great Britain has controlled the Hanover Free State for 24 continuous months prior to the start of the game.

I. THE REVOLT IN VENDEE (Optional): The Vendee Revolt (centered in the province of Poitou) was a thorn in the side of the French Republic throughout most of this period.  Start using this option the first time a "levee en masse" (see Special Rule D.1 above) is declared instead of dropping the three French political points.  Use Spanish guerilla counters for the Vendee guerillas (their use outside Spain indicates their nationality).  All rules on Spanish guerillas (see 10.1.1) apply, with the following changes:

1. The Vendee guerillas are always controlled by the British player, even if Great Britain and France are not at war.
2. Assume that the French province of Poitou has a guerilla value of "3".  During every British Guerilla Step after the first French "levee en masse" declaration, a die is rolled and for every point the die is less than Poitou's guerilla value, one Vendee guerilla factor is placed in a Poitou area.  There is no need for a French corps or garrison in Poitou for this to be done.  This is not done if Poitou is ceded to a major power other than France.
3. Only French home nation corps may be used to conduct anti-guerilla operations against the Vendee guerillas.  Handle as in 10.1.1.2 (consider all these provinces to have a guerilla value of "3" for this purpose).  All Vendee guerillas are automatically removed during a French Guerilla Step when France is at peace with all other major powers or in the event of a Bourbon restoration (see Special Rule M) and will not be reintroduced for the remainder of the game.
4. Vendee guerillas are moved aone area per turn during the British Land Movement Steps.  As with Spanish guerillas which are restricted to moving within Spain, the Vendee guerillas may be moved only within the following French provinces: Brittany, Guyenne, Languedoc, Normandy, Poitou and Provence (regardless of who controls these provinces).
5. For the Vendee guerillas, "friendly" forces are any that are at war with France.
6. Treat any French city held by Vendee guerillas the same as if it were held by enemy forces.

1. The Irish rebels are always controlled by the French player, even if Great Britain and France are not at war.
2. During every French Guerilla Step while one or more French-controlled corps are located in Ireland, two rebel factors are automatically placed in an Ireland area.  This is not done if Ireland is ceded to a major power other than Great Britain.
3. Only British-controlled (not necessarily home nation) corps may be used to conduct anti-guerilla operations against Irish rebels during a British Guerilla Step.  Handle as in 10.1.1.2 (consider Ireland to have a guerilla value of "4" for this purpose).
4. Irish rebels are moved one area per turn during French Land Movement Steps.  As with Spanish guerillas which are restricted to moving within Spain, the Irish rebels may be moved only within Ireland.
5. For the Irish rebels, "friendly" forces are any that are at war with Great Britain.
6. Treat any city held by Irish rebels the same as if it were held by enemy forces.

L. FRENCH EMIGREES (Optional): French monarchists driven from France by the revolution served with the armies of France's enemies.

1. The French emigres are considered to be controlled by the major power highest in the following listing that is currently at war with France: Austria, Prussia, Great Britain, Spain, Russia.
2. Control of the French emigres allows the collection of money and manpower (half normal values; round up fractions per province) from any French home nation province(s) occupied by (but not ceded to) any major power at war with France.  The money and manpower collected in the name of the French emigres can be used by the controlling major power the same as if the announced provinces were provinces of the controlling major power home nation.

1. France keeps all current leaders in play, but no new French leaders scheduled for later reinforcement will enter the game.  The Napoleon Bonaparte leader remains at its current seniority rating, with no further promotions possible (see Special Rule G).  If desired, as an aditional option, the French player can roll one die for each current leader to check for his "political reliablility".  A roll of "1-5" keeps a leader in the game and a roll of "6" eliminates the leader permanently.
2. France may not use a "levee en masse" (no more Special Rule D.1).  Unfortunately, the agricultural disruption (Special Rule D.2) continues.
3. All French militia infantry must be immediately eliminated from the game, although new French militia may be raised later.
4. France may now make alliances and royal marriages normally (no more Special Rule E.3).
5. Any Vendee revolt ends immediately (no more Special Rule I) and French corps can no longer start Irish revolts (no more Special Rule J).
6. The guillotine is dismantled and shipped to a museum (no more Special Rule K).
