The 1971 Rules of Diplomacy apply, except as amended below. 2.
There are now 35 supply centres, the s.c. Morocco being added. The requirement
for victory remains unchanged at 18 centres. 3.
All unite start as in the regular game, except Italy has F Rome and Austria has
F Zara (then is no province Trieste). 4.
Significant Map Changes a.
Trieste is divided into Croatia, a minor province, and Zara the new Austrian
supply centre. b.
The northern part of St. Petersburg becomes the province Archangel. Whilst StP
remains as the supply center, Russia may build fleets in Archangel, if she holds
StP. c.
A new province of Siberia is added, adjoining Arc, Mos and the new province of
Persia, which also adjoins Sev, Arm and Syr. d.
North Africa is divided into Algeria, a minor province, and Morocco, a new
neutral supply centre which touches Alg. WMS and SAO. Unite may not move
directly between Mor and Spa. e.
Ireland and Sicily become passable as minor provinces of England and Italy. All
units may move directly between Ireland and Clyde, and Naples and Sicily, using
a direct passage facility. This does not affect fleet movement between IRI and
MAO, and ION and TYS. f.
Three new sea spaces, Bay of Biscay, South Atlantic and Southern Mediterranean
are added. Only Spa sc is now accessible from MAO. WMS adjoins both MAO and SAO
at the Straits of Gibraltar. 5.
High Ocean Box (optional) a.
The High Ocean Box is added to the western and southern edges of the board:
connecting the Atlantic and Mediterranean, adjoining NAO, MAO, SAO, ION and SMS.
Though shown on the map as being in two parts, the HIO is a single sea space. b.
Any number of F's and A/F's may occupy the Box simultaneously, and no units can
be kept from entering the box by being stood off. c.
A fleet within the High Ocean box can support another F in HIO to move to normal
space. A fleet in a normal space can support a F in HIO into another normal
space. However, a F inside HIO cannot support a F from one normal space to
another, outside of High Ocean. 6. Abstraction A/F Rules may be used. (see separate A/F rules module). 7.
Coastal Crawl and Crawling Retreat are now legal. This is the manoeuvre where
Fleets swap positions along split coast provinces of Spain and Bulgaria. e.g.
F(Spa)nc - Por; F(Por)-Spa sc. 8.
The minor province of Livonia is renamed Courland to remove confusion with
Liverpool over abbreviations, and the name Gulf of Lyon is corrected to Gulf of
Lions. 9.
