This is the stock 750 turn monster scenario with adjustments made for play balance. The following changes have been made. Air interdiction reduced to 20% and effectiveness reduced to 15%. Breakdown values reduced to 5 for both sides. Improved Position and Trench effectiveness increased to -15% and -30% respectively. Victory levels completely overhauled and more in line with a game of this length. Far fewer objective hexes but with much higher point values and located much further to the south. Generally they are located to reward the Allied player as his bridgehead expands. Map exit victory hexes have been added to reward a successful 'breakout'. Storms are now possible with the new weather.dat file from 11th June to the end of July. With very high chances of storm from the 19th June to the 22nd June in line with historical weather. It is highly recommended that programmed weather is used. The odd storm will hinder the Allied advance and give the German player some much needed respite. Many thanks to the original designers for creating such a great game. Warning: The weather.dat file in this version has a possibility of storms. The stock version does not.

Some work still needs to be done to balance this one out. The Allies get to far off the beach too early.

Playing this now on turn 82. American AB divisions are too highly rated; almost superhuman. This was the 101st AB Divisions first operation! They should be rated C. A few battalions of the 82nd saw limited action in Italy and should be rated B. The ones with no experience C.
Also as I wrote for the original scenario design; the 20% reinforcement schedule is too low. You have to give the Germans some sort of chance here. 30% would help.
