[4.4.2.1] (Replace) A major power may sue to as many or as few of the powers with which it is at war as it wishes.
[4.4.2.1.1] Any power which (a) was sued to, (b) has allies which are also at war with the suing power but which were not sued to and (c) does not have forces in the suing nation's home country may break _all_ of its alliance(s) with such allies (-2PP each). It may not break some of the alliances and not others, and it may not break alliances with countries that do not satisfy the conditions above. The decision on whether to break is made simultaneously and secretly by each country involved.
[4.4.2.1.2] If any such country chooses not to break its alliances then the suit for peace is void. Treat it as though no suit for peace had been made, except that alliances broken in [4.4.2.1.1] remain broken and PP penalties for breaking such alliances stand.
[4.4.2.1.3] EXAMPLES: France is at war with Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, Spain and Turkey. Austria, Prussia and Great Britain are allied to each other. Spain is allied to Prussia and Great Britain.
[4.4.2.1.3.1] EXAMPLE ONE: France sues for peace to Austria and Prussia. Austria and Prussia simultaneously and secretly decide whether to break their alliances: in Prussia's case with Great Britain and Spain; in Austria's case with Great Britain.
[4.4.2.1.3.1.1] EXAMPLE ONE, CASE ONE: Austria and Prussia both choose not to break their alliances. There is no effect.
[4.4.2.1.3.1.2] EXAMPLE ONE, CASE TWO: Austria chooses to break its alliance with Britain, but Prussia chooses to keep its alliance. The only effect is that the alliance between Great Britain and Austria is broken (Austria -2PP).
The case where Prussia breaks the alliance and Austria does not is similar and will not be discussed.
[4.4.2.1.3.1.3] CASE THREE: Both Prussia and Austria choose to break their alliances (-2PP Austria, -4PP Prussia). Austria and Prussia must now simultaneously and secretly choose between demands of conditional or unconditional surrender, and their answers are interpreted in the normal fashion.
[4.4.2.1.3.2] EXAMPLE TWO: France sues for peace to Austria, Prussia, Spain and Great Britain. The suit is valid without any breaking of alliances, since Turkey is not allied to any of the powers mentioned in France's suit.
[4.4.2.1.3.3] EXAMPLE THREE: There are Prussian and British corps in France. France sues for peace to Austria, Prussia and Great Britain. The suit is valid without the breaking of alliances, since the presence of Prussian and British corps obviates the need to sue to all their allies (specifically, Spain).
[4.6.2.3] ... already at war with any of, or promising (and permitted, see [4.2.2]) to back up the minor by declaring war on all of, ...
[4.6.5] If it promised to do so (see [4.6.2.3]) then it _must_ do so.
NOTE: It is theoretically possible that [4.2.2.1] might prevent such a declaration of war even though it had not done so at the time when the promise was made. This might happen as a result of the original aggressor country (the power which declared war on the minor country) assuming control of territory in which the promising power has forces. In that case, [4.2.2.1] is ignored: the declaration of war is legal as well as compulsory.
[6.3.4.2.1] If the victor was commanded by Nelson, Great Britain receives an additional +1 PP.
[6.3.4.2.2] If the loser was commanded by Nelson, Great Britain suffers an additional -1 PP.
[8.8.5] When a minor free state is ceded the ... as a free state or immediately declare war on it.
[10.3.1.2.5] If a power grants voluntary access to a power at war with an ally, the ally may demand that the granting power break the alliance (-2PP).
[10.4.3.2] ... see [10.5.2]) If the primary district is a neutral or controlled free state the secondary ... minor country. The same thing happens if the secondary district is neutral when the primary district becomes neutral, or if they become neutral simultaneously.
[10.6.4.2.1] The Political Status marker cannot be moved below the top box of the fiasco zone as a result of the return of a leader.
[11.6.2.1.1] CLARIFICATION: Garrison factors have morale 1.
[11.8.1] Delete the words "at peace with all other major powers and". (three occurrences)
[11.8.1.1] For purposes of becoming dominant, a power is not considered to control any country, province or political combination which contains a corps of a power with which it is at war, or appears in the dominance conditions ([11.8.3.1-5] and [11.8.4.1-2]) of such a power.
[11.8.1.2] For purposes of retaining dominance, a power is also considered to control any country or province which is controlled by a power with which it is at war. (This is in addition to territory it actually controls.) It is also considered to control any political combination which it could not have created in the last political combinations, but which it would be able to create if it were at peace and controlled all the territory of all powers with which it is presently at war.
[12.10] OPTIONAL: Minor countries may save up to $14 between economic phases. If at any time in the future a new rule introduces a factor that costs more than $15, then the savings limit is increased to one less than that cost.
