9 Optional Rules are generally in the same place as the standard rule they modify. They are separated from the standard Rules by being framed in grey. All optional Rules are exactly that and each option can be played in part or full provided all players agree. To play this game, you should decide on what Rules variants you want to play with (using the Optional Rules Manifest on the back of the Production Circle will make this easier) choose a scenario (see 24, scenario information), and follow the set-up instructions there. Scale Units A land unit represents an army or corps (optional division units represent smaller units, see and ). A naval unit represents a squadron of 4 to 6 destroyers attached to either 1 aircraft carrier, 2 battleships or battle cruisers, or 4 heavy or light cruisers.

10 If playing with the Ships in Flames counters, a naval unit represents only 1 aircraft carrier, battleship, or heavy cruiser in addition to the destroyers. If playing with the Cruisers in Flames counters, each light cruiser is also represented. An aircraft unit represents 250 aircraft in 1939 gradually increasing to 500 aircraft by 1945. Each counter consists of a variety of types, but with the predominant aircraft being that depicted on the counter. Not all of them would be flying in each mission. You are limited by the number of units included in the game except for convoy points which can be freely broken down or combined, as long as the total points remain the same. Time Each game turn is two months.
