Why does Basra start under British control?
The Unit Setup shows Basra British, and two replies give the same reason (a setup simplification); the rulebook does not state a reason.

It is a setup simplification. Turkish units do not enter until Turkey joins the war, so the British capture of Basra is part of the setup rather than something played as an event.
