immediately move 2 levels up, Romania 1 level up, towards Central
Powers.
-4 -3 The King is forced to abdicate. Greece becomes “pro-Entente” and
Venizelos governs alone. Greece allows the passage of up to 10 Entente
corps (and artillery) through its territory, as well as their supply via railroad
(not applicable to “allied” Turks). Attacks are authorized along its border
regions (by both sides). Entente units may retreat or station themselves in
the interior of Greece, but they may not attack from there. The Greek Army
is regrouped at Athens and does not intervene in the conflict. Salonika
remains (or becomes) an Entente base (See Notes below).
-2 0 same result as 1–6. Greece gives unrestricted use of the port of
Salonika to Entente (See Note) and authorizes access by rail towards
Serbia, supply and commercial transit included (but no attack is authorized
towards Monastir).
1–6 Greece continues its wait-and-see policy, No effect. Venizelos is in
power.
7–8 same result as 1–6. Venizelos is “disavowed” by the King but still stays
in power. The King returns, if he had abdicated.
9–10 Venizelos resigns. Greece becomes “pro-Central Powers”. Military
Accord: same result as “-4 -3” above, but in favor of Central Powers.
11 same result as 9–10. Venizelos is executed for high treason. He never
comes back into the game!
12 Greece declares war on Entente. Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria
immediately move 2 levels down, Romania 1 level down, towards Entente.
Notes:
● Waiting Game: Greece 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.
● Alignment: King Constantine (pro-Central Powers) and Prime Minister
Venizelos (pro-Entente) continually oppose each other with regards to
Greece’s attitude. Each time a Diplomatic Action is carried out in
Greece, a roll determines which faction dominates, with 50% chance
each: even it is the pro-Central Powers king, odd it is the pro-Entente
Prime Minister.
NB: certain diplomatic results cause the departure of one or the other. In
this case, Greece aligns itself on the preference of the one that remains
and the above is not applied.
● Salonika: Entente may land in Salonika without Greece’s agreement,
because of the treaty of 1829 (signed during its independence with
Great Britain, France and Russia). This will give the Central Powers a
diplomatic bonus with Greece. Entente units may cross Thessalia (in
one stack) and attack beyond the border, or retreat to Salonika. They
may also enter and stay in Thessalia, or on the islands of Moudros,
and Corfu, with the condition that they leave at least 1 corps at
Salonika. Greek units withdraw from these regions as soon as an
208 World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918
Entente unit enters. Thessalia’s railroad, and the ports of Salonika and
the two islands are used for Entente supply.
If more than one region is occupied then the Central Powers receive a
+1 bonus per region occupied by Entente (regions that have only
been crossed do not count).
The Serbian Army may not retreat to Salonika. It may be evacuated
(through Albania) and find refuge at Corfu (even if Greece is hostile).
Greece gives its official agreement beginning with the result “-2 to 0”.
● Entente Military Coup: The Entente may attempt one Military Coup.
This may only be attempted if the “pro-Central Powers” faction
currently influences Greece. This decision is announced immediately
after any Diplomatic Action in Greece (except if Level 12 or -4
achieved). The Entente debarks one British or French corps at Athens
without combat (coming from a Mediterranean port).
The result of the Coup is determined by rolling D12:
2 Victory: the king abdicates, -5 squares or Greece passes directly to
Level -4
3–5 Success: -5 squares for Greece
6–8 Semi-success: -1 square ; the Entente unit sustains 1 loss
9–10 Half-Failure: +2 squares ; the Entente unit is eliminated
11–12 Failure: Venizelos is executed, Greece passes directly to Level 11 or
+2 squares if Greece is at
level 10 or 11. The Entente unit is eliminated.
Modifiers
+1 in 1914
-1 in 1917+
+/-1 Turkey pro-Entente +1/Central Powers -1
+1 Venizelos has resigned (or is dead)
-1 Venizelos in power
-1 if there are 6 or more Entente corps in Salonika
After the Coup, the Entente unit retreats towards Salonika or re-embarks
to sea (return to the port of origin).
● if the result is not “victory”, the United States is shocked by the
Entente’s forceful blow, and the US Level moves up 1 level
(immediate effect).
NB: the Entente military coup may only be attempted 1 time per game (and
with the condition that the Entente has control of the Western
Mediterranean).
