The board is just as in regular Diplomacy, except that Switzerland is passable.
Switzerland does not contain a Supply Center.
There are six Great Powers, as follows (A & F designate an Army & Fleet in the corresponding Supply Center province at the start of the game):
Byzantine Empire Albania Serbia (A) Bulgaria (A) Constantinople (F) Greece (F) | Celtic Kingdom Wales London (F) Brest (F) Picardy Belgium (A) Paris (A) | Kingdom of the Goths Holland (F) Kiel (F) Berlin (A) Prussia Ruhr Munich (A) Silesia |
Western Roman Empire Switzerland Marseilles (A) Piedmont Venice (A) Tuscany Rome (F) Apulia Naples (F) | Tartar Empire Warsaw (A) Moscow (A) Galicia Ukraine Sevastopol (F) Rumania (A) Armenia | Northland Norway (F) Sweden (F) Denmark (A) Finland St. Petersburg (A) Livonia |
Suggested one-letter abbreviations & colors [technically irrelevant to the game, of course]: B, C, G, S, T, W and orange, light blue, red, pink, yellow, green both in the order given above.
Note: I would have been tempted to call “Northland”, the Swedish Empire (as the Swedes did conquer most of this area under Charles XII). – Stephen Agar
