Gents: I know this topic has been raised in earlier days, but given the evolution of the game it seems apposite to revisit the topic of the optional rule of Militia Conversion. Per the Avalon Hill Rule book to the board game version, page 36 12.1.1: "MILITIA CONVERSION: During a Money and Manpower Expenditure Step, while at war with no other major power, a major power's player may remove any militia factors located in controlled home nation territory from the map and pay three money points per militia factor to 'convert' them to regular infantry factors. These new regular infantry factors are returned to the mao as reinforcements three months later (ie., (sic) the same as newly-purchased regular infantry factors). This is a powerful tool for most nations, Turkey and to a lesser extent Prussia excepted, and should be offered as an option. Semper Fidelis,
