!Normandy44 Beta Testing

[Dan Caviness]

Update for all Normandy44 beta testers:

I've been in conversation with Chuck10mtn and wanted to help make public a couple of glitches he has noted. First, as discussed earlier, some of the beaches are difficult to negotiate (for trucks and HQ units) due to my unfortunate tendency to put low stone walls up.

Here is how you get up the tough ones:

1. Sword/Oboe: Blow the high walls adjacent hex 239,169
2. Gold/Love: Clear the minefields at hex(es) 198,169 and/or 199,169
3. Omaha/Dog Red: Blow the high walls at hex 78,157
4. Omaha/Dog White: Blow the high walls at hex 70,157
5. Omaha/Dog Green: Blow BOTH high walls at hexes 64,153 and 64,154

The last one on Dog Green may not be worth the time. You can access the roads up the cliffs on Dog White and Dog Red pretty easily from Dog Green.

I will be fixing this and adding a few more options after we wrap up beta testing. I have a nice list going (my thanks to those contributing) of tweaks but I won't list them all here. Most of the other changes involve improving gameplay balance and are not "glitches" as such. Von Luck has mentioned he has some units trapped by bocage as well, and once I get that isolated it will also be fixed.

My thanks to everyone for their help.
