6.4.1.4 Gibraltar

Gibraltar was one of Britain's most important bases on the continent at the time of Austerlitz. The secure position on the cliffs of Gibraltar made it impossible to conquer from the land side. That means that Gibraltar (9/46) can neither be conquered from 9/45 or 10/45 nor can an invasion come from there. This includes unloading troops South, when on board a fleet located in a barracks built on 9/45. To conquer Gibraltar you must come from the sea side and then unload your troops onto the cliffs where they then can attack the defender in the next turn.
