Steam
Can the America / Europe maps be played with the basic Steam rules?
The designer addressed this directly; a community post noting the published rules target the advanced game is consistent with it.

Probably, with small tweaks, but it is untested. The designer says the published Steam rules for these older maps were tested with the standard rules, and that they should work adequately with basic rules with minimal tweaks, though they were not playtested that way. The published Steam rules are on each expansion's files page.
