The 1.0.0 version of Normandy '44 is directly derived from the prior 0.94 version, and adds updated (2024) artwork and many new features:
- Map board, counters, charts and setup cards are updated to the Fourth Printing (2024) artwork provided by the Designer.
- Starting locations of some units were updated to conform to the new At Start cards.
- Re-implemented Movement Trails to control the Show/Hide Trails state of all units together, so they remain in sync. Movement Trails are initially hidden.
- Added optional automation to resolve turn 1 Scatter Table rolls for all airborne units in one operation.
- Added optional automation to look up (on the Weather Table) the number of Supply Points and Replacement Points to be allocated for the turn and advance markers along the General Records Track accordingly. Allied Air and Naval Support markers are also reset to their starting Used/Available state.
- Added optional automation to perform all Recovery Phase cleanups such as deleting appropriate Disrupted, Regroup, Reinforcement, Replacement, Scattered and Combat markers. Allied Air and Naval Support counters on the map are also returned to base and set to Used state.
- Enhanced Combat Markers functionality, including the capability to automatically roll on the CRT and replace the Combat Odds marker with the corresponding Combat Results marker.
- Module detects and reports when a Reserve Marker, Strategic Movement Marker or GE Truck Marker being placed onto the Map would exceed the legal maximum.
- All known issues with the Cherbourg scenario have been resolved.
- The module’s HELP menu now includes a How to use this Normandy '44 module option which opens a detailed Module User Guide (in PDF format) describing the module features in great detail, with illustrations and examples. PLEASE REVIEW THAT MODULE USER GUIDE.
