 * as per the latest rules (Standard Game Rules form July 2013)
 * thus the current count is Map 1-50 + B1 + B2 + Crossroads + P1 Ocean + Putot-en-Bessin)
 * you are able to "adjust" the terrain if needed (as in Scenario H2, where the canal extends two more hexes, going off-map)
 * to be able to identify groups by numbers on the map (again, Scenario H2 has 3 German groups appearing on consecutive Turns in randomized order during the scenario)
 * you can use it to advance turns between the players. It requires setup prior usage, as all nationalities are selected as present in the game by default. Simply right-click on it to set it up (the third option with two more clicks to the right), deselect unused nationalities and set the starting nationality. Then use the arrows to move forard the turns alternating between the nationalities.
 * has the list and abbreviated details of all available official and fan-created scenarios, which should work coupled with the prepared Savegames
 *  the Savegames are a planned feature already being worked on, made as a separate Module Extension due to amount of work required 
 * includes counter names, map sheet ID and Hex number
 * textually logs what the counters do (i.e. reduction, movement, fire, assault move etc.)
 * (Move, Fire...), now they show as Labels to remove unnecessary stack cluttering
 * now CTRL-X, so that it does not collide with the "Reduce" shortcut for squads
 * plus the "VA" and "LOR" text is shown for each "1" rolled in a die roll, so that when you roll 1+1, you are reminded of a "Valor" roll requirement for Infantry
 * example: *** 6 ***    (2d6 roll: 5 [.LOR] 1)
 * example: *** 3 ***    (1d6)
 * example: *** 2 ***    (2d6 roll: 1 [VALOR] 1)
 * resets the status of all units on the map ("Fired", "Moved" etc.), retaining any Valor and/or Pinned/Immobilized status
 * unfortunately it does not list the location/hex from which the unit/weapon was deleted (because the delete happens first and afterwards the counter has no "location/hex" state anymore)
 * for "Remove movement trail"
 * they are now sorted alphabetically, with Leaders also sorted by their bonus first (this also applies for the Extension armies)
 * this was also done in the Extension and is one of the few changes in the Extension file itself
