Austria: 75I, 7Gd, 15C, 7 depots, any desired crops and $33. All leaders
 except Schwarzenberg are available.

France: 135I, 5Gd, 17C, any desired corps and fleets, 4 depots, 49 ships

Prussia: 80I, 3Gd, 17C, 5 depots, any desired corps, $18 and 9 manpower.
 All leaders except Blucher and Yorck are available.

Russia: 75I, 5Gd, 10C, 2Ck, 6 depots, 49 ships, any desired corps and
 fleets, and $37. All leaders except Barclay, Tormassov and Wittgenstein
 are available. No more than one corps may commence the game based at Corfu
 (and no excess factors in garrison there).

Spain: 41I, 1Gd, 6C, 2 depots, 57 ships, any desired corps and fleets and
 $16. Only leaders Blake and Castanos are available.

Turkey: 35I, 7C, 2 depots, 22 ships, any desired corps and fleets and $11.
 All feudal corps begin at full strength and may be setup on the map if
 desired. All leaders are available. The Turkish player also sets up Syria
 (the Syria corps with 5I and 6C).


As for bidding: It seems like the performance of the powers in the previous

lower, bids for Spain and Russia higher. France and GB didn't change much.

It would be interesting to see how people would bid if the method of
resolution were that the person who bids the most as a percentage of the
power's base VP gets that power. That way, we'd see what people really think
of Turkey, e.g.
