It is't perfect and needs some playtesting. I added in my own optional rules and they are, of course, optional. This scenario was created for use at the 'Heat of Battle' convention in New Orleans to allow for a scenario that could be ended at any time and a winner be determined which is reflected in the victory conditions. Also included is the force 'O' from Neptune, proximity of Gold Beach considerations as well as effects of Titanic IV. - Ah, even after looking and proofing, there are minor issues fixed corrected here. I'm kinda iffy on the whole EZOC movement thing when it doesn't involve AAC (Advance After Combat) so it is grayed.

Living Rules for The Battle for Normandy

The final rulebook for "The Battle for Normandy".

These were made to be printed 8-1/2 x 11" borderless. At anything other than that, I can't make promises but they should scale. I printed to gloss label paper then applied that to 1/8"-thick cardstock sheets.

Here is a sheet of U.S. artillery units which make distinction between the Long Toms and 155mm howitzers for purists While this has very minor effect on the game, I believe more stuff is always better than less stuff.

Graphic file of some of the marker counters. For those who have seen the game played at CSW or another convention, you might have noticed that we were using 9x12" magnetic dry erase boards under the Allied and German record charts, with the markers in mag clips. With a long game like this, there's nothing like bumping one of the record charts. Since the mag clips aren't easy to find these days, with this you can make your own with a magnetic strip from an art store.

It highlights the intense involvement of both players, which is usually lacking in most invasion games where the defenders typically wait until the invading player finishes their moves. Note: Defensive artillery fire is left out of the example as it is located outside the view area.
