Revised Color Counters for use with D-Day (77).
Unit Values are unchanged...although, being a purist, the following changes (corrections?) were made.
GERMAN- 3rd, 15th, and 25th PzGren Division counters were corrected to reflect the fact they were Heer formations NOT SS formations.
ALLIED- Corrected the US 6th Army counter (which actually fought in the Pacific) to the US 6th Army Group counter which was one of the two US Army Group commands in the campaign (General Devers can stop rolling over in his grave!).
Added Air support (CAS and Carpet Bombing) counters.
Added Mulberry (MB) counters to mark invasion hex supply sources.
Added "Railroad" counters to mark units utilizing Strategic Movement.
Also included:
1. Combat Results Table, with result explanations.
2. Handy Terrain Effects Chart.
3. Turn Record Track with dates and game events annotated.
4. Replacement Point Record Track to record accumulated RPs
NOTES ON MAKING YOUR NEW CARDBOARD COUNTERS:
1. You'll need a rolling blade paper cutting board (which can be purchased at any Craft/Hobby store).
2. Print your counters off on a color printer (I have found that Ink Jets work better than Laser Jets) using 8.5 x 11 size adhesive shipping labels.
3. Adhere your printed counters onto a sheet of compressed cardboard (the cardboard backing of a normal pad of legal paper works great).
4. If you wish your counters to be a little thicker and have that "real" counter look and feel, you can glue a sheet of cardstock paper to the reverse side of the cardboard (regular school glue works fine just ensure that you spread the glue fully and evenly).
5. Allow a day to dry and then flatten (the cardboard will bow when the glue drys) by placing between two heavy books for a few hours.
6. CAREFULLY cut your counters out on your rolling cutting board.
7. LIGHTLY spray counters with a LIGHT coat of clear matte acrylic finish and allow to dry.
8. Enjoy your pretty new armies!!
