Here are the "essentials" of the way I play:1st edition rules.
Base raid range of 2 (from 2nd edition).
Changed Connections
Fort St. Jean: change the Quebec connection to Trois Rivieres and Montreal on both the French and British card.
Louisbourg: remove the connection to Trois Rivieres.
Penalizing a Thin Deck
When the Draw pile runs out (by Home Support or normal refills of hand) do not shuffle the Discard pile until the very end of your turn as the final thing you do. If there are less cards available in the Draw pile than you are eligible for then you only draw as many as are available.
"Supply"
French can get "supply" from Montreal and Quebec. British can get supply from New York and Boston.
