DoD II Errata as of Sep 14, 94

• Map Key: Copenhagen in not an objective. Madrid is a better example.
• Treaty Chart: An alliance with the US has a US entry effect of +3 in 36-37,+2 in 38-39, +1 in 40-41, and 0 in 42+.
• War Chart: Note (c) Afghanistan, Nepal and Tibet are only included if you are playing with WiF.
• 3.2 3rd bullet: The initiative order is GE, IT, CW, FR, RU, JA, US, CH.
• 3.2 The CW commences the game with the NE guaranteed (IPO 12).
• 4 The number of objectives needed by the Axis is 45: GE 23, IT 5 and JA 17.
• 6 4th Para: If you bid for more than one option, add your bid modifier before dividing by the number of options played.
• 8.5 You may only activate a minor that you can control.
• 8.5 You may not activate any minors the turn you play your option (5).
• 8.7.1 IPO 1 - You may not play this option towards an ideology if you already occupy a hex in the center faction of that ideology.
• 8.7.1 IPO 10 - If IPO 10 has already been played this turn, you may attempt to play your option 0(c) instead.
• 8.7.1 IPO 10 - If the US does not successfully play IPO 10 in the relevant turn, then the Govt. has changed from Democrat to Republican until the next election. While Republican, reduce all US entry effects by 1.
• 8.7.1 IPO 15 - The GE naval ratio is 4.
• 8.7.1 IPO 19 - The US player may embargo the resources being provided to JA at the start of the game.
• 8.7.2 Option 0 - Variant (c) except for the US, MPs do not need to hold an election while at war.
• 8.7.2 Option 0 - Variant (g) If you think GE is too powerful politically, this variant only earns the MP 2 times as many bid points as your current PE.
• 8.7.2 Option 2 - While a MP has an offensive (or occupies a hex if playing WiF) into your home nation, you may attempt to play the gear up option, even if you do not meet the prerequisites. The US may attempt to gear up while non democratic MP units (not it's controlled minors) occupy any off map box in North or South America, even if they do not meet the prerequisites.
• 8.7.2 US Option 2 - You may not gear up to 1 until half your naval units are based in Pearl Harbor (if playing WiF, the P units must be in Pearl Harbor and the WC units on the West Coast). After gearing up to 1, these naval forces may not leave until at war with, or have a NAP with JA.
• 8.7.2 Option 3 - If not at war with a MP that has declared war on one of your controlled minors, your forces may not enter that minor's territories. However, MPs with which you have a level 2 or 3 treaty may enter if they are at war with the MP declaring the war.
• 8.7.2 Option 3 - If playing with WiF, you may lend lease units (except INF) up to the build point value equal to the army/navy points allowed (e.g. if you have a level 1 treaty, you can buy any units, except INF, up to a value of 5 build points). Other WiF lend lease rules apply.
• 8.7.2 Option 3 - The US may not sign a level 3 treaty until it is at war with a MP.
• 8.7.2 Option 4 - If you declare war on a MP, it's PM is automatically and immediately increased to the DoW PM of [their] MP, provided [their] PM is not already at or above that level already.

  Example: GE declares war the US in Nov/Dec 1941. The US PM increases from it's current PM of 1 to 2. If the US PM was already 2 or 3, then it would not change.

• 8.7.2 Option 4 - If you declare war on a MP from another ideology, increase it's PE by 1. In the case of the US, increase their PE by 2.
• 8.7.2 Option 4 - If a MP from another ideology that is at war with you, declares war on a minor country, that minor will automatically join your side whenever it's political marker is stacked under yours (You do not need to play IPO 5 first).
• 8.7.2 Option 4 - If you declare war on an allied or guaranteed minor, the resultant cassus belli lasts until the end of the following turn or until the minor is conquered, whichever is the later.
• 8.7.2 Option 5 - If a Vichy surrender is accepted, you only lose a territory if the enemy MP have offensives into that territory equal to half or more of the offensives required to conquer that territory (in WiF, half or more of the cities in that territory).

  If you do not have half or more offensives into that territory, the territory splits into 2 with each of you controlling a portion (if playing with WiF, the conqueror gains all isolated territory as well). If playing with WiF, and your units are now in each other's territory, they are moved to the nearest friendly hex or land section.

• 8.7.2 Option 5 - If a MP surrenders, it loses 1 PE for each MP surrendered to. If the US surrenders, it loses 2 PE for each MP surrendered to.
• 8.7.2 Option 5 - Your PE may be reduced below zero. Each turn that your PE is below zero, you must lose income equal to your negative PE, if available (e.g. if your PE is -3, you lose 3 income per turn). If you have insufficient income to pay, you may not receive your 1 free INF, CAV, MIL or HQ this turn (see WiF5 11.6.2.3).
• 8.7.2 US Option 6 - Your PE need not be greater than zero to veto the Neutrality Act (see above para though).
• 9.1.1 You also can't move a naval point between the West Atlantic and the NE Pacific [the Panama Canal] if Central America is nuetral, unless the US agrees.
• 9.1.2 A MP that is at war with more than one MP fights all MP units in the same area with which they are at war. This may result in more than one battle in one area in the same turn. Each battle is resolved in reverse initiative order with forces separated into the 2 battles. [This seems to apply to DoD II only]

  Example: The CW is at war with GE while FR is at war with IT. Two separate naval combats are fought if forces from all 4 MP are in the same sea area.

  If the CW is also at war with FR, 2 combats are also fought but with any remaining CW forces not committed to the first battle being committed to the second.

• 10.2 Until a Chinese civil war (CH 7 to RU 7), each 3 money (or part thereof) spent by the CH player, on army points must produce a CC army point.

  After a CH civil war commences, each 4 money (or part thereof) spent by the RU player, must produce a CC army point.

• 10.2 If your home nation is conquered, you may place reinforcements in any territory you control. However, a second army/naval point (or in WiF, a unit) may not be placed in a territory unless each other controlled territory has 1 army/naval point (or unit).
• 15.1 2.d(i) Add RU white print immediately after RU first gears up to 2.
• 15.1 4.c(v) While resources are being provided by the US to JA, enough US CONV must be placed between the US West Coast and any major port in JA, such that these resources get there.
• 15.5.1 If you desire, you may declare which countries you will be going to war with this turn during Political Affairs (to forestall subsequent playing of IPO 5 and IPO 12 in the same turn). If you do so declare, you must declare war on these countries in the first impulse of this turn.
• 15.5.1 You pay all costs, minor country and US effects after you first declare war on a country. You do not pay these costs if you end up not declaring war on any country this turn.
• 15.5.4 CC units may not enter a nationalist controlled city unless at war with nationalist China (CH).
• 15.6 Reinforcement Phase: Every minor country with a factory receives 1 INF or CAV reinforcement every second turn after being declared war upon. Each other minor receives 1 INF or CAV every 6 turns after being declared war upon until conquered. (e.g. BE was declared war upon in May/Jun 1940. It would receive 1 INF or CAV in Mar/Apr 1941, 1942, etc. unless already conquered.)
• 15.6.1 After resolving ideological initiative, the ideology that has the second highest initiative can elect to have their impulse after the ideology with the lowest initiative. The ideology with the highest then can elect to have their impulse after one or both of the others.
• 15.6.2 Finland and Rumania each also receive a HQ when first set up. Siam receives 1 INF and Saudi Arabia 1 CAV when each is first set up.
• 15.6.3 Mexico has a land connection with the US West Coast.
• 15.7.3 None of the restrictions specified in WiF5 11.5.1 & 11.5.2 apply except as covered in DoD II.
• 15.7.4 RU INF cost 2 while any 2 MP are at war. RU INF cost 3 if no MP are at war.
• 20 South America - includes all American territories south of the US.

1. rade agreements must be for a fixed amount. Resources and/or factories allocated for trade cannot be used if the the MP you traded them to does not pick them up. You must renegotiate a trade agreement by either increasing your treaty level, or terminating a treaty level and then renegotiate it. New trade agreements with a MP will supercede your old one. (If 2 MP have a level 3 treaty, there is not 3 trade agreements, only 1, that is renegotiated with each level of treaty).
2. When playing the War Card (option 4), unless you declare immedately that you will be declaring war on a MP, you cannot activate any minors. The current game mechanics makes it this way.
3. Central America is a US controlled minor ally.
4. Free Trade bonuses are contingent on a treaty, not a trade agreement.
5. Since when the NE falls and is conquered, the NEI becomes a independent minor, any OLD trade and/or military agreements with the NE are now null and void. You will have to negotiate new ones with the NEI. The NEI political marker starts wherever the NE was last sitting.
