Death of the Tsarina. Her successor, Peter III, is an ardent admirer of Frederick. He begs for the Prussian Black-Eagle-Medal and declares that it is more of an honour to be a Prussian General than a Russian Tsar. He then signs the peace treaty. Three months later he is assassinated and his wife, Catherine the Great, accedes to the throne. Nevertheless, the peace is kept.

Hanover receives only 1 TC from now on. The Imperial Army switches players and eased victory conditions come into effect for Austria and the Imperial Army (see rule 11).

In the war for the colonies France loses a wide range of possessions along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and in Quebec. Tax income decreases drastically. The Duc de Choiseul advises that military expenditure and subsidies be reduced.
