At the end of the war, a random number of losses (1 to 3) are suffered
by Britain and 2 British corps are reduced. Afghanistan moves back to
Level 16.
Belgium
● Starts at Level 3
● Neutral
Modifiers to Status changes:
-1 if Central Powers have invaded Holland
+3 if Central Powers have obtained access via Belgium (-3 if it is
Entente) (Level 8 or -4 attained)
Diplomatic Level (result): from -4 to 10
-4 same result as 8+ but this time in favor of Entente.
-3–0 Belgium’s government and its King are divided between a pro-Entente
political stance and one favoring Central Powers. Belgian units suffer from
a -1 in their combat value during the invasion turn if Entente attacks
Belgium. Germany no longer receives Belgian agricultural aid.
1–5 Belgium observes strict neutrality. It grants agricultural aid to Germany.
6–7 same result as 1–5. Belgium’s government and King are divided
between a pro-Entente political status and one favoring Central Powers.
Belgian units suffer from a -1 penalty in their combat value during the first
turn if Central Powers attack Belgium.
8+ same result as 6–7. Belgium authorizes military cooperation with
Germany and gives it passage rights through its territory, as well as supply
by rail. Attacks are authorized all along the Belgian border (by both sides)
in Franco-Belgian border regions, but not towards the interior of the
country. German units may retreat or station themselves into Belgium's
interior (but without being able to attack). The Belgian Army is regrouped at
Antwerp and does not intervene in the war.
No diplomacy is possible as long as German units are present in Belgium.
Brazil
● No diplomacy. May enter the game as an Entente member via event only
● Provides only economic effects (gain of EP by Entente powers)
Bulgaria

206 World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918
Modifiers to Status changes:
+/-1 if Greece is in the war on the side of Entente/Central Powers
+/-1 if Turkey or Romania is in the war on the side of: +1
Entente/1 Central Powers
-2 if Vienna or Budapest is occupied by Russia
-1 if an Russian AMB is present (this is favorable to Entente)
+/-1 if an Turkish AMB is present, (negative effect for the Turkish
side): -1 Central Powers, +1 Entente
+1 Bucharest or Athens conquered by Central Powers
+/-1 successful Grand Offensive on the Eastern Front, +1 Central
Powers/-1 Entente, the most recent (1915+)
+1 if the differential in “objective” cities between Central Powers –
Entente is ≥ 3 (the same -1 in reverse for Entente) (only major
power Objective cities, with a star in the middle)
+1 if Warsaw or Kiev is occupied by Central Powers
-1 if Serbia is with Central Powers (See Serbia, level 7+)
Diplomatic Level (result) : track from -5 to 10
-5 Bulgaria declares war on Central Powers. Turkey, Greece and
Romania immediately move 2 levels up, Italy 1 level up, towards Central
Powers.
-4 0 Only if Entente recognizes Bulgaria’s rights (otherwise same result as
5–6). Bulgaria becomes “pro-Entente”. Military cooperation granted: the
same result as “7-9” below, but in favor of Russia.
1–4 Only if Entente recognizes Bulgaria’s rights (otherwise the same result
as 5-6). Bulgaria distances itself and becomes “Neutral”.
5–6 Bulgaria is “pro-Central Powers” and continues its wait-and-see policy,
no effect.
7–9 same result as 5–6. Bulgaria authorizes supply and commercial
transfers through its country. It also allows the passage of the German
“Süd” Army through its territory. Attacks are authorized along the border (by
both sides). The German Army may retreat or station itself in the interior of
Bulgaria (but not attack). The Bulgarian Army is regrouped at Sofia and
does not intervene in the conflict.
Bulgaria furnishes 5 EP of Economic Aid to Germany per Economic Phase.
10+ Bulgaria declares war on Entente. Turkey, Greece and Romania move
2 levels down, Italy 1 level down, towards Entente.
Notes:
● Waiting Attitude: Bulgaria shows itself to be prudent and limits
the efficiency of AMB in 1914 to +2 or -2 max., even if the AMB
differential is greater (bonus “Pro-” included). This no longer applies
in 1915.
● Balkan Revenge: Bulgaria and its King are on the lookout for only one
thing, revenge for the disastrous end of the Second Balkan War in
1913. To represent the specific anti-Serb and anti-Greek attitude of
Bulgaria, Bulgaria remains pro-Central Powers even if Levels -4 to 0
or 1–4 are reached (normally favorable to Entente).
This handicap may be canceled by Entente with the “Recognition of
Bulgarian Rights”Political Action during an Interphase.
