Spring, 1860: No special rules. Normal Diplomacy--the colors just represent what was Union, what was Confederacy, what was Canada, and what was south of the US.
The only thing you might check out are the fleet movement rules (you can use the Mississippi and Missouri rivers). This is from the rules page:
The only difference deals with the rivers, which have been extended, multiplying the possibilities of fleet movements. The links between territories are set by common sense, reflecting the course followed by the rivers. A fleet in Missouri can move in both branches of the Mississippi/Missouri rivers; in Iowa, a fleet can find itself in the Mississippi River or in the Missouri River (it works exactly as Spain SouthCoast and Spain NorthCoast in standard Diplomacy): to move from a branch to the other, the fleet must pass from the Missouri state; a fleet in Milwaukee can find itself in the East Coast, in the North Coast, or in the Mississippi River: a fleet in one of these positions cannot move in another. On the contrary, the territories of Minneapolis, Chicago and Ohio have not this distinction: for example, a fleet can move from Kentucky to Chicago, and next turn to Lake Michigan.

Autumn, 1860: Dark blue you control. Light blue you don't. Right now you only control OH, NYC, and NJ.

GameMaster: Union voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes Concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Conceede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.

Yeah. Ryan and I have played this a couple of times and noticed that a bad move a few turns in isn't too bad, but a bad move at the beginning is a killer.
