Diplomatic Level (result): from 11 to 23
11 China declares war on Central Powers. Qin Tao is conquered by the
Chinese during the 2nd game turn, Germany loses NW -1.
12–14 same result as 15–20. China becomes “pro-Entente”.
15–20 China is “Neutral” and continues its wait-and-see policy, without
effect.
21–22 same result as 15–20. Tension mounts with Entente. France and
Great Britain must send 1 corps (veteran or elite) to their respective
colonies, Hong Kong/Indochina, or lose 1 NW per turn.
23+ Only if Japan is not at war against Russia (and same result as 21–22).
China becomes “pro-Central Powers” and declares war on Japan (only).
The Japanese Army is placed in China and may not be used elsewhere.
End of conflict on a test of 11+ (test to be verified at the beginning of each
Diplomatic Phase). If peace is signed, China’s Level automatically goes to
19. No diplomacy is possible as long as the war lasts.
China stays neutral with the other members of Entente.
Denmark
● Starts at Level 4

-1 Germany orders Restricted Submarine Warfare (-2 if All-Out)

Danish Agricultural Aid. Denmark remains or becomes “Neutral” again.
0–6 Denmark is “Neutral” and continues its pacifistic policy. No effect. It
furnishes Agricultural Aid to Germany.
7–8 Denmark increases its exports. Germany receives 5 EP of Economic
Aid each Economic Phase, and a bonus of -1 on the Blockade Table (not
cumulative with the -1 bonus from Norway). Denmark remains or becomes
“Neutral” again.
9+ same result as 7-8. Denmark becomes “pro-Central Powers” and lays
mines in the Skaggerak. The Entente fleets suffer a double mine attack
upon entering the Baltic, and again when returning (each time it crosses
the Danish Strait). Each attack is considered to be made by Mines at level
2. This applies for the entire war even if their Level diminishes later.
