Political Actions
Each Major Power may attempt a certain number of Political Actions now.
They are tested, implemented if need be, and their impact on NW is
fulfilled.
NW and the Length of the War
Beginning in 1915+, a final adjustment is made if the NW is very high.
● in 1915
If the NW is between 35 and 40, NW is reduced by 2
(but not below 34).
● in 1916+
If the NW is is between 29 and 40, NW is reduced by 2
(but not below 28).
Instability Tests
All Major Powers whose NW is in the Instability Zone (NW ≤ 20) roll their
Instability Tests now.
Then roll any Social Tests that result.
And finally, Powers with new governments improve their NW (with the risk
of weakening their Parliaments).

Production
Income is calculated for each power and recorded on its Budget Chart. The
Income is given directly by the Revenue Table, according to the level of
Civil Production and possible loss of cities (Income for lost national cities,
given in orange on the map, must be subtracted).
Each power may then undertake its production and expenditures
(ammunition, technological research)
Important Notice: the Income is determined by Civil Production at the
beginning of the Interphase. Successful “Transition to a War Economy”
Political Actions in the same Interphase are not counted (this time). Civil
Production is artificially increased by +1 level if the Power has a Strike or a
Revolt (+2 for both). This will lower to resulting income.
The Generals
Each Power may reassign all of its generals among its HQ, except those
generals whose assignment is fixed. However, a power cannot change its
commander-in-chief at this time.
The Annual Interphase
At the end of each Winter or Spring Interphase, a special general
Redeployment phase takes place. This takes place starting from Winter 14.
Strategic Redeployment
All fronts are considered calm in December and January as well as in June
(combat ceases at the end of November, and restarts in February). This
