GREAT WAR - ADVANCED TOURNAMENT OPTIONALS

These are intended to provide added historical depth and realism for the
advanced gamers. Note that these are separate rules. Players may use
some, all or none, at their own discretion. 

1. Also	consider as narrow seas 

(a) the English Channel passage between Kent & Artois. (b) the Gulf of
Finland region north of Estonia leading to St Petersburgh. (c) the Gulf
of Corinth between Thessaly & the Pelopenesse to Attica. 

2. Channel Ferry: For ground movement purposes, as long as the Allied
player controls or contests both sides of the English Channel (Kent &
Artois), he may move ground units from any controlled English Channel
area (Kent, Wessex, or Devon) to any controlled French Channel area
(Artois, Picaride, Normandy, or Brittany) without using sea transport.
Instead, movement is done using the narrow seas rule under ground
movement. 

3. Amphibious assaults are permitted in the Baltic in 1914. 

4. Kuwait, Khuzistan, Brandenburg, Scotland, Brabent, Luxembourg, and
Flanders should have increase NRC markers in them. 

5. Starting in Situation Game 3 and continuing for all succeeding
Situation Games, Persian neutrality is violated at the start of play. 

6. Situation Games 2 & 3 - add to setup one Turkish 3-4 in Kut and one
British 3-4 in Bosra. Deduct these from their respective mobilization
pools. 

7. Situation Games 4 & 5: For both games, add an Italian 3-4 in Albania.
In Game 4, add one Austrian 3-4 each to Albania & Epirus: move the
Serbian 3-4 to Epirus; add one French 3-4 to South Macedonia. In
Situation Game 5, add one Austrian 6-4 at Salonika Front and add one
French 3-4 to Salonika Front. Delete all additions from the respective
mobilization pools. (The Salonika Front was one of the great strategic
sideshows of the war. This optional more fully reflects the drain it
represented on the strategic options of both sides. The cost of the
added realism is a slightly slower playing game.) 

8. Campaign Game 

(a) Separate Peace - rule should be 1/2 national territory, not all as
listed. 

(b) If US enters before 1917, you take the US NRC growth month by month
so that the first month is 1, the second, 2, etc., until 68 is reached.
After that, it is 68 per turn. 

9. T/I attacks - The great powers came in descending levels. Even when
the technology threshold was crossed for a side, some of its component
power would be unable to take advantage of the T/I possibility owing to
poor doctrine, organization, equipment, etc. 

Thus, Austria cannot use T/I attacks in Situations 6, 7, 8. 

Italy, in Situation 6. 

Russia, in 5, 6, 7, 8. 

In Situations 4 & 5, Italy and Austria cannot make T/I attacks unless.
used in conjunction with German, French, or British units.
