of general
war in Europe prior to the peace of Amiens in 1802.
14.8.1.2 TIME:
The game begins in April 1792 and ends after the March 1802 turn. [NOTE: Use 1805 as

This campaign game uses the "1805" column of the MINOR COUNTRIES CHART on the
Game Card,
with the following changes:
NOTES:
f: The Holland fleet is +1 for combat, like the fleets of Great Britain. In addition,
Holland has a treasury of $20 that goes to the first major power to control the country.
g: Part of the kingdom of Two Sicilies
D. FRANCE IN FERMENT:
1. LEVEE EN MASSE:
Up to twice during the game, during any desired Money and Manpower Collection Steps, the
French player may declare a "levee en masse". When declared, France immediately loses
three political points each time (or, alternately, see Special Rule I below), but can
collect four times the French manpower values (including any conquered minor countries but
not French controlled minor free states) that would normally be available during that
step.
2. AGRICULTURAL DISRUPTION:
The revolution seriously interfered with France's time honored and largely feudal farming
system. As a result, there were a number of bad harvests during the 1790s (1793 being so
bad as to threaten famine by early 1794). During all economic phases in September turns,
the French players must total up France's total major power money (including conquered
minor countries) and roll one die to "check the harvest" (round all fractions up). Modify
the die roll by France's status modifier during the Money and Manpower Collection Step.
Apply the result from the following table:
E. POLITICAL CHANGES:
a. At the start of the Naval Step, a major power with one or more of
its ports blockaded may select any of these blockade boxes in which
to "check the blockade". To check the blockade, the blockade box is
announced and all major powers having fleet(s) in that blockade box
roll a die for each fleet while the blockaded power rolls one die.
Great Britain's rolls are always modified by "+1".
b. If any blockading fleet roll matches or exceeds the blockaded
powers roll there is no change. If the blockaded powers roll exceeds
the highest blockading roll, all blockading fleets in the blockade box
must be immediately moved into the adjacent sea area or areas (the
controlling players choice). The blockaded major power then performs
its naval movement normally.
There are three different leader units for Napoleon Bonaparte (Two new BONAPARTEs and
one
NAPOLEON from the original game) with different seniority letters to reflect his
increasing status as the wars continued. The leader that arrives as a reinforcement in
March 1796 is the BONAPARTE unit with the "C" seniority rating. Whenever an army of three
or more corps commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte wins a filed combat with an enemy force
of
three or more corps, the leader unit (unless "killed") used can be replaced by the leader
unit with the next higher seniority letter rating - until the "A" seniority unit is
reached (and General Bonaparte becomes First Consul Napoleon). Unless commanded by
the
NAPOLEON "A" leader unit, rules 7.5.2.10.1.3 and 7.5.2.10.1.3.2 covering extra political
points gained or lost when armies are commanded by NAPOLEON do not apply.
If using option 12.3.2, consider that Great Britain has controlled the Hanover Free State
for 24 continuous months prior to the start of the game.
The Vendee revolt (centered in the province of Poitou) was a thorn in the side of the
French Republic throughout most of this period. Start use this option the first time a
"levee en masse" (see Special Rule 14.8.7.D.1 above) is declared instead of dropping the
three French political points. Use Spanish guerilla counters for the Vendee guerillas
(their use outside Spain indicates their nationality). All rules on Spanish guerillas (see
10.1.1) apply, with the following changes:
1. The Vendee guerillas are always controlled by the British player, even is Great Britain
and France are not at war.
2. Assume that the French province of Poitou has a guerilla value of "3". During every
British Guerilla Step after the first French "levee en masse" declaration, a die is rolled
and for every point the die is less than Poitou's guerilla value, one Vendee guerilla
factor is placed in the Poitou area. There is no need for there to be a French corps or
garrison in Poitou for this to be done. This is not done if Poitou is ceded to a major
power other than France.
3. Only French home nation corps may be used to conduct anti-guerilla operations against
Vendee guerillas. Handle as in 10.1.1.2 (consider all of these provinces to have a
guerilla value of "3" for this purpose). All Vendee guerillas are automatically removed
during a French Guerilla Step when France is at peace with all other major powers or in
the event of a Bourbon restoration (see Special Rule 14.8.7.M) and will not be
reintroduced for the remainder of the game.
4. Vendee guerillas are moved one area per turn during the British Land Movement Steps. As
with Spanish guerillas which are restricted to moving within Spain, the Vendee guerillas
may be moved only within the following French provinces: Brittany, Guyenne, Languedoc,
Normandy, Poitou and Provence (regardless of who controls these provinces).
5. For the Vendee guerillas, "friendly" forces are any that are at war with France.
6. Treat any French city held by Vendee guerillas the same as it were held by enemy
forces.
Both the French and the British felt that the French Revolution could be spread to
Ireland. Use Spanish guerilla counters for the Irish rebels (their use outside Spain
indicates their nationality). All rules on Spanish guerillas (see 10.1.1) apply, with the
following changes:
1. The Irish rebels are always controlled by the French player, even is Great Britain and
France are not at war.
2. During every French Guerilla Step while one or more French-controlled corps are
located in Ireland, two Irish rebel factors are automatically placed in an Ireland
area. This is not done if Ireland is ceded to a major power other than Great Britain.
3. Only British-controlled (not necessarily home nation) corps may be used to conduct
anti-guerilla operations against Irish rebels during a British Guerilla Step. Handle as in
10.1.1.2 (consider Ireland to have a guerilla value of "4" for this purpose).
4. Irish rebels are moved one area per turn during the French Land Movement Steps. As with
Spanish guerillas which are restricted to moving within Spain, the Irish rebels may be
moved only within Ireland.
5. For the Irish rebels, "friendly" forces are any that are at war with Great Britain.
6. Treat any French city held by Irish rebels the same as it were held by enemy forces.
K. MADAME GUILLOTINE (Optional):
French generals could provide prominent and convenient scapegoats for their unstable
government whenever anything went wrong and, as a result, many were imprisoned,
executed
or fled the country one step ahead the gendarmes. To reflect this, use this modification
of option 12.7 again, after using it to determine leader casualties. These extra rolls are
performed only for French commanding generals, who have failed to win (they do not
necessarily have to lose) a field or a limited field combat. Roll two dice, and modify the
die roll by "+1", if the combat was a draw, by "+2", if the French lost the combat but
lost no strength factors to cavalry pursuit, and by "+3", if the French lost the combat
plus lost strength factors to cavalry pursuit. If the modified dice roll is "12" or more,
roll again - this time with just one die. If "4-6" is rolled, the French commander is
executed or skips across the border (permanently eliminate the leader counter from the
game). If "1-3" is rolled, the French commander is imprisoned for a number of months equal
to the die roll (remove the leader unit from the map and it cannot be returned to play
until the prison term is over). This rule does not apply once the NAPOLEON "A" leader is
available.
French monarchists driven from France by the revolution served with the armies of France's
enemies.
1. The French emigres are considered to be controlled by the major power highest in the
following listing that is currently at war with France:
Austria
Prussia
Great Britain
Spain
Russia
2. Control of the French emigres allows the collection of money and manpower (half normal
values, round up fractions per province) from any French home nation provence(s) occupied
by (but not ceded to) any major power at war with France. The money and manpower
collected
in the name of the French emigres can be used by the controlling major power the same as
if the announced provinces were provinces of the controlling major power home nation.
If France surrenders unconditionally at any time prior to the arrival of the NAPOLEON "A"
leader, consider that the revolution is over and there has been a Bourbon monarchy
restoration to rule France. The following rules apply if there has been restoration:
1. France keeps all current leaders in play, but no new French leaders scheduled for later
reinforcements will enter the game. The Napoleon Bonaparte leader remains at its current
seniority rating with no further promotions possible (see Special Rule 14.8.7.G). If
desired, as an additional option, the French player can roll the die once for each current
leader to check for his "political reliability". A roll of "1-5" keeps the leader in the
game and a roll of "6" eliminates a leader permanently.
2. France may not use a "levee en masse" (no more Special Rule 14.8.7.D.1). Unfortunately
the agricultural disruption (Special Rule 14.8.7.D.2) continues.
3. All French militia infantry must be immediately eliminated from the game, although new
French militia may be raised later.
4. France may now make alliances and royal marriages normally (no more special rule
14.8.7.E.3)
5. Any Vendee revolt ends immediately (no more Special Rule 14.8.7.I) and French corps can
no longer start Irish revolts (no more Special Rule 14.8.7.J).
6. The guillotine is dismantled and shipped to a museum (no more Special Rule 14.8.7.K).
