+<div style="text-align: center;"><b>THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES<br>
+</b>The total units on the board have been roughly doubled. The cost of
+land units has been roughly doubled. The total income on the board has
+only been increased by only one third.<br>
+<br>
+</div>
+<div style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="font-weight: bold;">Land
+Units</span></u><br>
+<div style="text-align: left;"><u>Changes:</u> New units that can be
+placed each round will represent a dramatically smaller fraction of the
+total forces. Players will have to use starting units more
+intelligently as heavy losses will be difficult to replace. </div>
+</div>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"> </p>
+<div style="text-align: left;">
+</div>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Furthermore, if a
+skilled player out-maneuvers a less skilled one, it will have a greater
+effect. For example, if Germany masses in the Ukraine they will likely
+draw Russian forces to Stalingrad. Germany can then capture West
+Russia, and be on Moscow&acirc;&#8364;&#8482;s doorstep. The Soviets will send
+everything they can to defend their capitol but, their infantry will
+not make it, and they will not be able to afford many new ones to place
+in Moscow, leaving their high value pieces vulnerable. With high value
+pieces harder to replace, this could spell total disaster for the
+Allies.<br>
+</p>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u>Historical Context:</u>
+The game officially opens on June 1, 1942. At this point every country
+but the United States was fully mobilized. They continued to call up
+new recruits throughout the war, but these were barely enough to
+replace the casualties being suffered. Those casualties, in turn,
+represented a relatively small proportion of the forces in the field.
+On the rare occasion that a large force was lost, it was devastating.
+For example, the Wermarch never fully recovered from the loss of the
+Sixth Army at Stalingrad.<br>
+</p>
+<div style="text-align: center;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Naval
+Units<br>
+</u>
+<div style="text-align: left;"><u>Changes:</u> A loss of a major fleet
+is no longer more devastating than the loss of a major army. Players
+can afford to be more daring and take bigger risks with them.<br>
+</div>
+<br>
+<div style="text-align: left;">The lower relative expense of naval
+units versus air units allows players to split their fleets more often.
+It is no longer worth sacrificing a fighter to take out an enemy's
+destroyer, meaning transports can be protected by a weak naval force,
+so long as it does not encounter an enemy fleet.<br>
+</div>
+</div>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><u>Historical Context:</u>
+While the largest proportion of naval power remained in large task
+forces, convoys, usually escorted by a small number of cruisers and/or
+destroyers, were often formed to transfer/distribute resources as
+needed. </p>

+</u></p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+countries that both remained autonomous within the
+framework of the Axis Powers, and maintained independent armed forces
+which they committed to the conflict. As the most powerful of these
+countries, Italy has been set as the capitol.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">Having
+drawn IPCs from Germany, the Lower Axis will have to strike a balance
+between supporting the German effort on the Eastern Front and staying
+powerful in the Mediterranean.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in; text-align: center;"><u

+</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+Soviet Union has been strengthened economically. The Revised Edition
+makes this country far weaker than its historical counterpart. By 1945
+the Red Army was the largest in the world. Though Soviet contributions
+to the war tend to be downplayed by Western powers, they made
+the greatest contribution to Germany’s defeat.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">With
+the preponderance of Soviet wealth now West of Moscow, merely holding
+on until the Western Allies come to the rescue is no longer a viable
+option. However, if the Allies can tie down enough German Resources, a
+skilled Russian player may be able to win the war for the allies.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in; text-align: center;"><u><span

+</u></p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+independent Lower Axis player has robbed Germany of a great deal of
+wealth, but Germany has benefited more from initial units than any
+other country. </p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">Tight
+coordination with the Lower Axis player will be necessary for success.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in; text-align: center;"><u

+</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+UK was an empire in decline. By 1942 the British were stretched
+incredibly thin attempting to defend their territories around the
+world. They were masters of a world class system of infrastructure, but
+no longer had the resources to leverage it. To simulate this, the UK's
+IPCs have been reduced, but they posses more industrial complexes than
+any other nation. (Four) </p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+British can be powerful in any theatre they chose, but can not afford
+to be powerful in all at once, making their industrial complexes as
+much a liability as they are a blessing.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in; text-align: center;"><u
+ style="font-weight: bold;">Japan:</u> <br>
+<img style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" alt=""
+ src="Images/Flags/Japan_large.png"><br>
+</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">Japan's
+IPC have seen a slight shift into the pacific islands. This encourages
+the Japanese to emphasize naval and air power. Faced with two allied
+complexes in Asia and reduced value of mainland territories, it will be
+more difficult for Japan to dominate the Asian mainland while warding
+off the American Navy.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">Japan
+can likely capture either China or India while effectively protecting
+the Pacific Islands. To attempt all three could stretch them too thin,
+and like the British complexes, the high value of the pacific islands
+could be a curse in disguise.</p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in; text-align: center;"><u
+ style="font-weight: bold;">United States:<br>
+<img style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" alt=""

+</u></p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+United States player has a much stronger presence in the Pacific. The
+increased value of the Pacific Islands, the elimination of the
+Northeast Canada-&gt;Algeria shortcut, and an economically stronger
+Soviet Union all combine to make the Pacific worth fighting for. </p>
+<p class="western"
+ style="margin-top: 0.07in; margin-bottom: 0.07in; line-height: 0.2in;">The
+US is the economic powerhouse, but is furthest from the crucial
+sectors. In a game designed to create difficult choices for all
+players, striking the right balance of resources between the Atlantic
+and Pacific may be the most challenging and rewarding.</p>

+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center">Blood and
+Iron is new
+scenario for <a href="http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki">Triple A.</a>
+It is
+designed to be more historically accurate, more difficult, and more
+engrossing than the standard Revised Edition included with Triple A.</p>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> It is the sincere hope
+of the designers that game will be less repetitive than previous
+versions. The elements that contribute to this hope are a larger map
+with more possible strategies, and a deliberate emphasis on creating
+difficult choices for all players. </p>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Experienced players
+are the target audience for this scenario. Players that find the
+original editions too complicated are not likely to enjoy this
+version.</p>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Below is a list of the
+major changes from the Revised Edition:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Radically adjusted Industrial Production Certificates (IPC) to
+unit cost ratio</li>
+  <li>New Map</li>
+  <li> New Player (Lower Axis Powers)</li>
+  <li> Relationship between land/air units and naval units
+fundamentally changed.</li>
+  <li>Three new
+units introduced, three existing units altered.</li>
+</ul>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The following are
+links to detailed documents describing the changes and the rationale
+behind them.</p>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a
+ href="Docs/Fundamental.html">Fundamental
+Changes</a> <a href="Docs/map.htm">The Map</a>

+Major Powers </a><br>
+</p>
+<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Players accustomed to
+playing new scenarios will likely be able to hit the ground running
+without reading the documents, but we still recommend reading through
+them as they will increase appreciation for the game and deliver a
+firm understanding of why each change was made.<br>
