II – Major Powers
Great Britain
● Secret Start Level (1 to 5, randomly determined before the start of the
game in August 1914)
● Pro-Entente

-1 if Belgium ceded to an ultimatum from Central Powers (right of
passage accepted) (See Belgium, result 8+) or by an event
+/-1 if Italy or Turkey has declared war on Central Powers/on Entente
(-2 if it is both of them against Entente)
-2 if Central Powers have declared war on Belgium in 1914
(+1 if it is Entente) (+/-1 in 1915+)
-1 each time Central Powers declare war on a minor country (other
than Belgium, Luxemburg, Serbia) (+1 if it is Entente)
202 World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918
-1 if the differential in “objective” cities between Central Powers –
Entente is ≥ 3 (the same +1 in reverse for Entente)
(only applicable to major powers’ Objective cities)
+1 if Germany has chosen the War Plan “Moltke” or “Kronprinz”
(nullified if Belgium is invaded by Central Powers)
+1 if Constantinople is occupied by Russia
Diplomatic level (result): status ranges from 0 to 8 (or 10***)
0 Great Britain declares war on Central Powers.
1–2 Only if Belgium is invaded by Central Powers (otherwise, the same
result as 3–4 below).
Great Britain declares a “Limited Intervention” in Belgium against Central
Powers. War is not yet officially declared:
● The BEF debarks in a Belgium port at the end of Entente’s
Military Phase, in priority at Antwerp. The BEF units may move
1 region from any Belgium port (without attacking, nor
intercepting). Any attack on the BEF units or if the Central Powers
besiege Antwerp is considered an immediate declaration of war
against Great Britain.
● British Diplomacy is activated: Entente receives 2 British AMB each
Interphase, plus 3 base AMB during the Winter Interphase.
● Great Britain places 1 MUN Site at the disposal of France.
3–4 Great Britain is “pro-Entente”, without entering the war. Entente
receives 2 British AMB per Interphase, plus 3 base AMB during the Winter
Interphase. Beginning in Winter 1914, the Political Level of Great Britain
drops by -1 level at the start of each Interphase. France receives use of: 1
MUN site.
5–6 same as result 3–4, except that Great Britain is politically indecisive
and prudent. Entente receives 2 British AMB each Interphase (purchase),
plus only 2 base AMB during the Winter Interphase. France receives use
of: 1 MUN site.
7–8 same result as 5–6, and Great Britain remains politically indecisive
and prudent. Entente receives 2 British AMB per Interphase (purchase),
plus 1 base AMB during the Winter Interphase. France receives use of: 1
MUN site.
● The level may rise above 8 only in the case of an Entente invasion of
Belgium
9+ Great Britain ceases to be pro-Entente and becomes “Neutral”.
Entente does not receive any British AMB (remove those already in the
game). Its Political Level does not diminish during each Interphase. British
controlled seas are considered open access to both sides. France: no MUN
site.
Notes:
● If Great Britain declares war in 1915+: all the 1914 reinforcements are
received as soon as they enter the war (the BEF is changed into I and
II Armies).
