Board Description

The victory conditions for this board are NOT standard. If you read nothing else, read the following paragraph carefully:

The object of this game is to transfer at least 17 units from your space in the lower right hand legend to the middle box in the lower left hand legend. The only way to do this is to create a complete supply line from the top of the board to the bottom of the board (or vice versa). Because the board allows you to transfer units to any connected spaces, you may use one of your two transfers to move those units into the middle box of the left legend. On your next turn you may deliver the coup de grace by attacking from the middle box to your opponent's capital.

A few things to keep in mind: The middle box in the left legend has a -16 per turn booby trap to keep you from moving units into that box before you have completed your supply line. You need to transfer 17 or more units to the middle box IN ONE TURN.

Rules

The territory bonus is 1 unit per 8 territories held with a minimum of 3 each turn.

Placement is DISABLED on territories that are not on a road. BUT, Off-road territories are stronger positions, they attack roads with a +2 advantage and defend from roads with a +1 advantage.

There are 6 attacks per turn.

Return to Attack is OFF - this makes it tricky to manage resources, but it is a requirement in order for the board to work properly.

Abandon is ON, with retention.

Reinforcements from the right hand legend can also be used to fortify to the top of the map (if you're the British) or bottom of the map (if you are the French). They can also be transferred to left box in the left hand legend and held until you complete your supply line. Remember that you need to have at least 17 units available for transfer when you have completed the supply line.

It's also possible to fortify back from the board to the left box in the left hand legend.

  • The territory bonus is 1 unit per 8 territories held with a minimum of 3 each turn.
  • Placement is DISABLED on territories that are not on a road. BUT, Off-road territories are stronger positions, they attack roads with a +2 advantage and defend from roads with a +1 advantage.

  • It's also possible to fortify back from the board to the left box in the left hand legend.
  • Prussian Reinforcements Scenario

    The British start with a slightly inferior position and less armies. Beginning on the 10th turn, FIVE additional "Prussian" troops are added to the Red (British) reinforcements total for every turn until the end of the game. These units are added to the box in your right hand legend. There's a nifty-cool countdown clock on the board (Thanks for the suggestion, Andernut) so the suspense mounts as the moment draws near.
