Tarleton -> 1740, 1756 Scenario Rules Compatibility (1/24/2009 12:49:56 PM)

This thread is to determine the compatibility of the 1740, 1756 Scenario alternate rules with the Game Editor and to identify for the designer any possible editor options that may be needed. The Rules will be posted section by section.

14.9 through 14.94 are posted below. Does anyone see any issues?

[14.9] AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION CAMPAIGN GAME:
This campaign simulates warfare from 1740 to 1748.

Spain: Sp(II) [Ins-8]
Turkey: Tu(II) [Neu-1]


14.9.1.2 TIME:
The game begins in December 1740 and ends after the September 1748 turn.

2 PLAYERS: Austria, France.

For major powers (if uncontrolled): At the start of the game, Turkey and Russia are a neutral UMPs with no controlling player, Spain is an active French UMP, Britain is an active Austrian UMP, and Prussia is an active French UMP. UMPs of a UMP become an UMP of the controlling major power. Since this campaign begins in December, no UMPs will change control during the December 1740 UMP control step.

When bidding for countries, the order countries are awarded is changed to the following sequence: Britain, Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Turkey.

The 1740 campaign would need special coding for the election of the emperor rules.

British training rules for Hanover are critical for the 1740 - 1796 scenarios. They currently aren't coded in the current game, this would need to be fixed (it's in Mantis).

Poland special rules would need to be in force for the 1740 - 1756 scenarios.

Alternate dominant powers rules would need to be in force. Prussia is dominant in 1756, and neither France nor Britain are dominant.

Medium power rules (e.g. Poland and Sweden) rules need to be in place for the 1740+ campaigns.

There are a number of other rules in the 1740 - 1756 campaigns which would need to be looked at. e.g. the Jacobite rebellion rules.

What do you think, a special feature?

British training rules for Hanover are critical for the 1740 - 1796 scenarios. They currently aren't coded in the current game, this would need to be fixed (it's in Mantis).
Agreed
Poland special rules would need to be in force for the 1740 - 1756 scenarios.
Agreed
Alternate dominant powers rules would need to be in force.
Prussia is dominant in 1756, and neither France nor Britain are dominant.

The rules absolutely need to be in place. As well, in 1740, no one is dominant, but everyone can become dominant.

Medium power rules (e.g. Poland and Sweden) rules need to be in place for the 1740+ campaigns.
This is a big question I have. Do these rules have any relevance? Or should they merely be considered Multi Part minors?

There are a number of other rules in the 1740 - 1756 campaigns which would need to be looked at. e.g. the Jacobite rebellion rules.

Aside from the jacobites, what other rules do you think need to be in Place?
