The game is duplicate Pax Britannica using the improved 1993 (Costikyan - Sacks) rules. Significant changes involve Codominion value reduction, Chinese Resentment, VP divisors (Russia and Italy are 2.5, Belgium is 1.5), Ottoman expansion,
Surrender out of supply, and losing a war by running home. The rules will be handed out to players who have not received
them and can be obtained in advance from the GM for a SASE. Alternatively, acomplete set of the revised rules can be found at http://www.costik.com/pbimpro.html. In addition, a teaching game is scheduled to be run Friday at 9 AM just before this one round tournament takes place.

Since the game is DUPLICATE, the players do NOT roll dice. All random events have been determined in advance. And
this year ...
