Diplomacy
Before the buy phase, is the diplomacy phase. A diplomacy dice costs 6 IPCs, max of 2 per turn. Choose a nation to have diplomatic talks to then roll the dice.
1-4 is nothing
5-8 is +1 favor
9-11 is + 2 favor
12 is +3 favor
Every round adds up of favor for a nation, until you reach 10 favor then the nation becomes pro- your nation. If you walk a unit into it’s capital all territories of that nation joins you.
War and peace
Every nation Is at peace, anyone may declare war on any nation (Including neutrals) at any time. You may form alliances. When invading a neutral nation the other nations rolls a dice, who ever rolls the highest the neutral nation joins him/her.
The player may choose where to put the neutral country units in it’s territories.
Deals
You may make deals, trade units territories and IPCs
Countries that start with no IPC value get +2 ipcs in till they conquer a territory with IPC value
New victory cities
Brazil, turkey, Spain, Malay and Sweden.

Government
There are 2 governments; Democratic and Dictatorship
Countries that are separate governments may not form a alliance. If the country is a different government then yours in a diplomacy talk, 1,2,3,4,5,6 is nothing everything else is +1 favor.
You may change your government at the cost of 8 ipcs, but roll a 1d6 and if it is a 1 or 2 a civil war breaks out, roll a dice for each infantry unit, at 3 or less the unit rebels, it must battle other unit that are still loyal, both at attack. The Rebel units stay until their killed. You may not be doing diplomacy until the civil war ends.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS
1. You may produce various types of nuclear weapons based on your level of technology (see the techs section for further information). Once you’ve gained a better type of atomic weapon all of your nuclear weapons are considered to be that type. So if you had Hydrogen bombs and you get the Tsar Bomb tech, then your stockpile is now magically comprised of Tsar Bombs and all future bombs will be Tsars.
2. Atomic Weapons may be delivered by Strategic Bombers that start their turn on an airbase owned by your alliance.
3. All types of Nuclear Weapons cost 20 IPCs to build. You may only build 2 nuclear weapons per turn, they are stockpiled in factories.
4. You must pay 5 IPCs a turn in upkeep for each nuke that you have stockpiled. If you do not (or cannot) pay for each of those nukes then your stockpile is reduced to equal the number of nukes that you paid the upkeep for.
5. When conducting a nuclear strike you may choose to launch a strategic or a tactical attack. Each attack uses one nuke.
STRATEGIC ATTACKS
Nukes are used against industrial complexes or territories. If you target an industrial complex then it works like a normal strategic bombings except that you roll additional dice, do not add +2 to the damage, and there is no limit to the damage that a nuclear strike can do. So an atomic bomb could theoretically do 20 levels of damage to an industrial complex in a single turn- effectively crippling it for the rest of the game.
Alternatively, you may launch a strategic strike on a territory’s IPC value. This works as above, except the IPC value cannot be reduced below zero. The IPC value of a territory may be repaired up to its original level (or to 3 if its starting value was below 3) during the Diplomacy and investment phase (see basic rules document).
Fission Bomb - roll 4 dice. The sum total of the rolls is the damage inflicted.
Hydrogen Bomb - roll 8 dice. The sum total of the rolls is the damage inflicted.
Tsar Bomb- roll 12 dice. The sum total of the rolls is the damage inflicted.
TACTICAL STRIKES
Tactical strikes target the ground forces in a territory or facilities in a territory. When attacking a facility use the rules above for launching a strategic attack on an industrial complex.
When launching a tactical attack against a ground territory, roll 1 die for every enemy land unit in the territory. If the attacked area is also being assaulted by your land forces then the tactical nukes are launched before the first cycle of combat takes place. You may use multiple nukes to launch multiple tactical nuclear strikes against the same territory. If a player used 2 nukes to attack a territory then he would roll 2 dice per every enemy unit in the territory, etc.
Fission Bomb - rolls of 1 kill an enemy unit.
Hydrogen bomb - rolls of 2 or less kill an enemy unit.
Tsar Bomb - rolls of 3 or less kill an enemy unit.
Units killed in such strikes are immediately removed from the board and may not retaliate against their attacker.
If the nuke was delivered by a strategic bomber then the bomber may not take part in any additional rounds of combat in the territory.
Tactical attacks on air bases and naval bases may destroy units based there in addition to damaging the facility. Navies that are in a sea zone bordering an ally’s naval base are considered to be in port. Air units in a territory with an airbase air base are considered to be stationed at the airbase. If a naval base or air base takes more than 6 damage in a tactical attack then the attacker may make an additional roll (as if they were attacking land units) to damage units stationed at these facilities.
ARMAGEDDON
There is a limit to how many nukes can fly before nuclear winter sets in. If 15 nuclear strikes are launched then the game is considered to be over with the side with the most (irradiated) victory cities declared the “winner.”
Nuclear Technology
Cost 6 IPCs for Nuke tech, same tech rules.
1. Atomic bombs (Loaded on bombers) (US, Russia, China, and UK starts with this tech)
2. Nuclear missiles (Nukes launched off of AA guns, range of 8)
3. Fission Bomb
4. Hydrogen bomb
5. Tsar Bomb
6. Armegedon Bomb (Same as Tsar bomb but it is inflicted on 2 borderinging territories)
