The normal rules of Diplomacy apply except as amended below:

1. North Africa is a neutral supply center.
2. Movement is possible between Heligoland Bight and the Baltic Sea, and fleets in those locations may participate in the same convoy operation.
3. Clyde and the Norwegian Sea are not adjacent to each other; Edinburgh and North Atlantic Ocean are not adjacent to each other.
4. Italy begins the game with a fleet in Rome rather than an army.
