This map differs from Toaster's original game in the following ways.
Inclusion of 6th 'power', Italy. Italy now goes first in turn order.
Inclusion of neutrals into play. Taking a neutral incurs a penalty bonus as indicated on the map, but some neutrals may be worth the effort to take. Note - Turkey and SE Europe are now bordered.
Extra firepower/protection for Capitols...they defend and attack with an additional +5% advantage (UK with +10% due to relatie local air superiority and huge surface fleet). Capitols: Italy - Northern Italy USSR - Russia proper Germany - East Germany United Kingdom - England Japan - Japan proper US - Eastern US
Small changes to troop allotments and to a few country unit caps (though no change to formula for how max units is calculated). Some countries have been split into 2 spots.
Additional Changes:
1) Capital Cities - if a nation loses it's capitol city, the conquering power takes over 40% of it's holdings. In the very rare instance when a nation takes a capitol and loses one in the same turn, it will remain active.
2) Strategic bombing - Each capital (exception of US, which has bomber command located in W. China) has a limited (5 units max) bomber command which can attack as artillery to adjacent capitols. This attack is at 85% offensive dice and AA only hits at 35% rate.
3) Additional changes over the 'Capitol's version - strategic bombers can now bomb a range of targets, not just capitols. Furthermore, the US and Japan have an added bombing capability in the Pacific (Japan at New Guinea and US at Hawaii).
4) For the factory placement scenario, only placement is allowed on territories with factory icons and bomber locations. This is mostly the capitals and capital/bombers but also a handful of other spots. In this scenario, South Africa's, Pearl Harbor and New Guinnea's max units are 10, but unit placement is allowed. Also, both Australia's unix max is 5, but unit placement is also allowed.
Scenarios:
1) Basic (capitol elimination/assimilation)
2) Non-Capitols version
3) pick your role (capitols)
4) pick your role (non-capitols)
5) Factory placement only
6) Capitols - no neutrals
7) Capitols - limited orders
