=== Variant Notes: ===

The idea for Sail Ho! began with Andy Schwarz' Hundred Years' War variant.
This variant cleverly pits 3 players against one another. The beauty behind
Andy's variant is that the game quickly (if not immediately) moves to the
"mid-portion" of the game. That is, the neutral SCs are quickly acquired and
the 3 players find themselves face-to-face with adversity.

During my "Interview with Manus Hand" I came to realize that both he and I
shared the enjoyment of "convoying". This started me thinking. Very few (if
any) variants emphasize the "convoy" order. It was at this point that Sail
Ho! was conceived.

After spending some time searching through the many variants I noticed that
very few were designed for an even number of players (much less for 4
players!).

My hope was to create a variant which addressed these "short comings".

=== Variant Map: ===

There are a total of 60 Provinces (43 Land Provinces and 17 Water
Provinces). 11 of the Land Provinces are located on islands.

The 3 islands are named:
* the Isle of Women (Les, Hes, Ves)
* Cyprus (Aph, Psy, Cup)
* Dissentos (Nes, Are, Hin, Ser, Str)

2 of the Land Provinces have "split coasts":
* Village of Psyche (Psy) - East and West coasts
* Shrine to Hestia (Hes) - North and South coasts

There are 16 Supply Centers (SCs). Half of the SCs are located on islands.
9 SCs are required for a solo victory.

=== Powers And Positions: ===

There are 4 Powers, each with 2 Home SCs. Each Power starts with 2 units
(one in each of his Home SCs), as follows:
