All of the Standard game rules apply, except one: units may be built on any supply center owned by a power at the beginning of the year, as in the Chaos variant.

Notes on the WITA map
1. Canals and waterways in Americas (they all act like Kiel in Standard):
- New York City/New York State- the Erie Canal, allows passage from New York Bay to Eastern Great Lakes
- Panama – the Panama Canal, although it was not open until 1912 it is used in the game to cross between the Atlantic and Pacific areas.
- Magallanes – Magallanes Strait, allows an extra passage between oceans at the bottom tip of South America.
- Montreal – St-Lawrence waterway, allows passage from Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Eastern Great Lakes
- Trinidad – These groups of islands are treated as a sea/land territories and movement of fleets is allowed from one side to the other, while armies can move through land from West Indies to Trinidad and from Trinidad to Delta.
2. Continuous coasts. Movement by fleets is allowed along the coasts of Toronto, Michigan and Delta as if they were canals, like Denmark in the standard variant.
3. Navigable Rivers. There are two:
- The Mississippi-Missouri. Which allows the passage of fleets from the Gulf of Mexico to the Western Great Lakes, passing through the provinces of New Orleans, Mississippi, Kentucky, Missouri, Chicago and Minnesota. Using this waterway, a fleet can move from the Great Lakes to the Ocean or viceversa in 4 turns ordering WGL-Min (or WGL-Chi), Min-Mso (or Chi-Mso), Mso-NOr and NOr-GOM.
- The Amazonas. Which allows the passage of fleets through he provinces of Para, Amazonia and Loreto.
4. Provinces that have two coasts: Cali, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Chiapas, Ontario and Washington.
5. Misiones province in Argentina has access to the Rio de la Plata, therefore Buenos Aires and Uruguay are not adjacent by land.
6. Supply Centers. There are 61 supply centers, therefore victory is obtained by gaining control of 31 centers. Some of these are within the countries, but are considered unsettled or unstable areas that are yet to be conquered.
