Comments

ver 1.22 (2nd Edition)

1. Added "Resolve bombardment" button. How to use it:

- Place Artillery Zone Markers on your targets.

- If your target(s) is/are entrenched, right-click on the Zone Marker and select "Target: entrenched". Yellow letter "E" should show up on your Zone Marker.

- If you are firing long range (French only), right-click on the Zone Marker and select "Target: long range". Red letter "L" should show up on your Zone Marker.

- If you are firing intense bombardment, rotate your Zone Marker 60 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise (right-click on Zone Marker, select "Rotate CW" or "Rotate CCW"). If the Zone Marker is oriented upright - it's normal bombardment. Any rotation to the left or right - it's intense bombardment.

- Checking if the Zone Marker is reduced, target is reduced, morale of target - is done automatically.

- After you place all your Zone Markers, click button "Resolve bombardment". All bombardments will be resolved now and appropriate messages will appear in the message box in the upper part of the screen.

- Messages will contain Artillery Zone Marker name, hex that is bombarded, target's name, all modifiers, dice roll and results (loss/shaken). They also inform you if a target was destroyed by bombardment.

- All messages will show up in other's player log (whether you are playing online or PBEM).

2. Corrected some text formatting in "DBP Helper".

ver 1.21 (2nd Edition)

1. Added "DBP Helper" utility ( https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/282868/dbp-helper ) which helps to calculate defense fire and assault fire effects. It is launched by "Combat Helper" button from the toolbar.

ver 1.20 (2nd Edition)

1. Added adjustable Trench Zone lines to map. This will ONLY WORK with games started with this version of the module

2. Made trench control markers unmovable to avoid accidental moving.

ver 1.10 (2nd Edition)

1. Automated removal of Shaken

2. “Moved” labels bigger

3. “Label” text bigger and red on white

4. Made Disorganized counter marker on unit counters easier to see

5. Changed outline color of unit selected

6. More detailed labeling of tracks for noting of moves in Comment Section of screen

Earlier versions

v1_3 Same as 1.2 except that colored KTX markers have been added (with Change Label) to mark various items during PBEM.

v1_2 uses a fixed counterset (except for markers) and handles the barrage and Hanoi airfield boxes a little more elegantly

v1_1 corrects the setup errors in Scenario A and adds zones for all of the strongpoints so the strongpoint name will display when the cursor is hovered over the hex.
