Great Britain at Peace:
● German overseas naval units: Germany may bring back the BC
Goeben and its Raiders, as well as his Far East squadron to
Germany.
● Anti-German tendency: Great Britain’s Level lowers by 1 at the
beginning of each Interphase, beginning in Winter 1914. Ignored if
France has invaded Belgium or if Great Britain is no longer
pro-Entente (Level 9+).
● British commerce: Great Britain aids Entente economically. France
and Russia each receive 30 EP + a flow of 1 MUN per Interphase,
beginning in Winter 1914. The MUN flow increases by +1 per
Interphase, until it attains a flow of 5 MUN. France also has 1 British
MUN site at its disposal. This is reduced to 15 EP + flow 2 MUN if
Belgium is invaded by France and Level is ≤ 8 (No aid is received if
the British lever is 9+).
If Russia loses Petrograd or surrenders, British aide is directed
towards Italy or Turkey (if one of them is at war against Central
Powers).
● Events: the “Torpedoing”, “Lusitania”, “Seizure of Neutrals” and
“Lawrence of Arabia” events may not be applied as long as Great
Britain is at peace (ignored). Also ignore all events affecting Great
Britain.
- Gas: -1 diplomatic level during the 1st use of Chlorine Gas by
Central Powers, or -2 if gas use is massive for the 1st usage
(+1/+2 if done by the Entente).
- United States: their diplomatic level may not drop below 14 as long
as Great Britain is at peace.
United States
● Special Level 23
● Isolationist (Level 23 to 14), then Pro-Entente (Level 13 and below)
Modifiers to Status changes:
-1 if Central Powers control Paris or London
-1 Germany orders Restricted Submarine Warfare (-2 if All-Out))
+/-1 each time Entente/Central Powers declares war on a minor
country (other than Serbia, Luxemburg) (-1 Central Powers +1
Entente)
-1 if the Lusitania has been torpedoed or the Zimmerman Telegram
has been intercepted (events) (-2 for both)
+1 Great Britain orders the Central Powers Blockade (+2 if Neutrals
Blockade)
+1 if Great Britain is not pro-Entente (France has invaded Belgium)
+1 as long as Russia is czarist (regime A)
+2 if Mexico and the US are at war
Special Diplomatic Level: from -5 to 23
The Diplomatic Level begins to lower by -1 per Interphase towards Entente
beginning in Winter 1914.
23 The US is Isolationist and remains strictly neutral. The Panama Canal is
closed to all countries.
22–21 The US is officially Isolationist. Its private-sector economy however
puts 1 MUN site at the disposal of Entente. Attributed randomly among
Entente powers (See notes).
20–19 same result as 22. Entente: 2 MUN sites at their disposal.
18–16 same result as 21-20. Entente: 3 MUN sites.
15–14 same result as 18-16. Entente: 4 MUN sites.
13–10 same result as 15–14. The US becomes pro-Entente. France and
Great Britain each receive 10 EP per Economic Phase, and Italy gets 5 EP.
The US Level decreases by 1 each turn (and no longer per Interphase), at
the Diplomatic Phase start.
The Panama Canal is open to Entente countries.
American Diplomacy becomes active: 1 American AMB is available to the
Entente each Interphase.
Entente: 5 MUN sites.
9–6 same result as 13-10. France, Great Britain each receive 20 EP per
Economic Phase (instead of 10 EP).
5–1 same result as 9-6. American Diplomacy becomes active: 2 American
AMB are available to the Entente each Interphase.
0–4 same result as 5-1. If All-Out Submarine Warfare is in effect, the US
may send warships (DD, DE and CL) to fight against the U-boats (even
without being at war).
-5 The US declares war on Central Powers. France, Great Britain may each
receive up to 30 EP per Economic Phase, Russia 20 EP (0 in Winter), and
Italy 10 EP.
Note:
● US MUN sites: depending on the diplomatic level, the US offers up to
5 MUN sites to the Entente. These sites are freely used and shared
between the Allies Powers each Interphase, within the following limits:
France (3), Great Britain (3), Italy (2), Russia (1 in 1915, 2 in 1916+;
except in Winter). This sharing may be changed each Interphase.
● The US Level automatically decreases by -1 at the beginning of each
Interphase, beginning in Winter 1914.
● Then -1 per turn (diplomatic phase start) as soon as Level 13 is
reached, when the US becomes pro-Entente.
