Chaos in the Balkans:
Hungary and Romania are at war, Germany has annexed Austria, Yugoslavia suffered an unfortunate die role and has been forced to disintegrate into a Pro-Fascist Croatian state and a smaller Serbia. Italy managed to seize Albania without loss, and Czechoslovakia is reinforcing its border with the Nazis.
The UK has pledged to declare war on any power invading Greece.

Swedish Disaster:
The Swedes attempted to peacefully take over Norway to prevent any major nations from entering Scandinavia, but the plan backfired. Not only did another unfortunate die role cause the Norwegians to resist, but the German and British players were offended by the assault, and Germany turned a blind eye to a British force that liberated the Norwegians and devastated Sweden’s hopes of a powerful, neutral, United Scandinavian state.

Spain in Flames:
The civil war rages on in Spain, just as a deadly naval encounter ended in mutual annihilation for the Nationalists and Republicans. The free world does not want a Fascist Spain, and the U.S. Player has sent generous air aid to the Republicans. With Franco’s Army of Africa having headed for the mainland, I, as France, took advantage and seized their Moroccan colony. Unfortunately, I earned a -1 diplomacy points for this “aggressive” act.
1914 - French Mutinies of 1917
-
In April 1917 after the disastrous failed offensive on the western front by General Nivelle to end the war, the French army’s troop morale hit an all-time low. With the Russian revolution occurring in the east and their inevitable pullout, plus the lack of US troops in Europe after their declaration of war, many French units literally stopped fighting.
In the game to represent this event, the ability of French troops to fight can be impacted.
Starting on turn 6 and at anytime during the turn, check for these conditions…
1. If Russian revolution and Armistice has occurred OR Moscow under CP control.
2. USA troops are not in France OR in France but not in a territory with or adjacent to CP units.
3. French units are not in Germany OR do not control any German territories
4. AP does not control Belgium
5. CP units are in France
If all true, then half (rounded up) of the French infantry units in each territory in all battles in France will have a -1 hit modifier. ie. Hit on 1 only when attacking or 1 & 2 with artillery support. Or only hit on 1 & 2 when defending.This rule occurs ONCE and remains in place until any above conditions change OR there is decisive battle in France where the amount of CP units eliminated is 3x the AP units lost. Do not count airplanes lost and this battle can be any power’s attack.
