I think I noticed a minor error in surender conditons. In a game we are playing, Scotland has become a conquored minor of France. However, as a nation at war with France, Scotland does not appear on the list of minor countries that can be selected as a peace condition, while all of France's other minor countries do.

I think this means that conquored home territories of another major country are not appearing on the lists of minors that can be taken as peace conditions.

Has anyone else seen this situation?
DB.

Scotland would be a British province, but only a minor conquored nation to France? Or does Scotland become a French province?

(France does receive all its money and manpower, so maybe it is a province).

I believe that because Scotland is a province of GB, anyone else trying to take it must have a corps in it, or the province in question must be adjacent to the MP's home nation (impossible for anyone except GB in this case).

The rules are not clear, they state that Scotland conquored by France (as a peace condition) should be treated "exactly as if it were a conquored minor country", i.e. it should appear on the list of minors to be selected as a peace condition, even if the victor does not have forces in it (rule 13.3.2 in the matrix game or 10.2.2 in the original board game rule book).

The rule you quote refers to conquest. So, for example, Russia (if at war with France) could land a corps in Edinburgh and conquer Scotland from the French. It would then become a ceded province belonging to Russia. In terms of ceding as part of a victory condition, a province is a province is a province and therefore to gain it by ceding you need to have corps present or it needs to be adjacent to your territory.

Status: offline 		Aha! Should a conquered MP prov be available as a minor? A std MP prov must be adjacent to friendly territory or have a friendly corps present! BUT should a conquered MP prov go under the same requirements???

That is the question. The rules indicate for conquest that a conquored MP prov should be treated as a minor country, so presumably it is the same for peace conditions. (rule 13.3.2 in the matrix game or 10.2.2 in the original board game rule book).
