If no oil counters can be shipped to Britain, either because of Atlantic transport problems or because the Axis control every British port, excluding Belfast, Britain will incur all four oil effects unless some are offset by oil counters in the Western Allied European oil reserve. If the Axis have also captured London, Birmingham and Manchester, eliminating the Western Allied European oil reserve (33.422D), Britain will automatically incur all four oil effects.
D. ATLANTIC TRANSPORT LEVEL: The Atlantic transport level is determined at the end of the game turn, after the Western Allies have had an opportunity to replace transport losses. Repaired and newly constructed transports are counted when determining the Atlantic transport level.

Explanation: Check at the end of each Allied player turn. If the net result is zero or less, Britain offers to surrender. |
A British surrender where the Western Allies remain at war with the Axis represents the collapse of the Churchill government due to war weariness among the British public and the associated political paralysis in Parliament. The British continue to fight, largely because of the U.S., but their warmaking capability is permanently reduced.
59.62 PEACE: If the U.S. was not at war in Europe, then a peace treaty is negotiated between Germany and Britain and the following adjustments are made:

Explanation: The British Concession Table sets out the value of territorial and economic concessions that may be demanded by Germany if Britain surrenders. The same values are used if Germany returns British territory which is under Axis control at the time of surrender. For concession purposes, Cyprus is considered to be part of Palestine and Kuwait is considered to be part of Iraq. All priority 1 territories must be conceded or under Axis control before any priority 2 territories are taken; all priority 2 territories must be conceded or under Axis control before any priority 3 territories are taken; and so on. An indemnity of 10, 20 or 30 BRPs may be imposed without restriction. |
