N44 - beyond the beaches

RE: N44 - beyond the beaches
A few minor notes about this campaign:
A-C Inf / 17th Royal Canadian Hussars from 3rd Canadian Division has 90 vehicles as base strength instead of the 90 men of the same units in every other Commonwealth Division;

82nd Airborne and 101st Airborne are not withdrawn in the 750 turn campaign. In the stock campaign they are so on July 1st. From what I could read the 101st was sent to garrison Cherbourg after its fall in late June, then shipped to England; 82nd Airborne participated in the first phases of the VIII corps offensive toward La Haye du Puits starting July 3rd, then shipped to England.

1st and 2nd Wing of the Glider Pilot Regt could also be removed from play early in the game: glider pilots had orders to head for the beaches as soon as practical, and actually carried a signed order from Eisenhower to that effect. Many did so in the days following the landings.

I would like to add that I would be playing chess were not for the efforts of the designers to make these games in particular as accurate as they possibly can.
