Which Facebook page are you referring to? I don't see it on the MMP page timeline.
It's on the Advanced Squad Leader group's page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/advancedsquadleader/
Scott - I was hoping Chas would post the photos here. If he doesn't do so shortly, I'll see if I can figure out how to link to it directly. It's nothing earth-shattering (typical CG rules page) it's the fact that the project has reached that stage that's exciting (to me).

Here's what Chas posted. There's speculation that "TLD" could mean "The Longest Day." :salute:

TLD could also be, "The Last Day"? What many felt would happen on the morning of June 6th, as they parachuted down or landed on the beaches.

Interesting.
The CG is based around existing scenarios but on the new map.
Hmmmm.

I hardly can wait for this one. I hope it will see production soon.

I wish whomever runs the group would let people in. I've had a request pending since the 17th.
While I will buy my usual 2 copies (it is ASL and official to boot), I have somewhat muted enthusiasm for this. I cannot quite pin down the exact reasons as there is only 1 other official Normandy HASL (PB) and this is the 1st featuring a US cast. I suppose it is similar to how I feel about Stalingrad, after RO I doubt that I will want to see another Stalingrad HASL. RO to me is the RB super booster pack and whether that is correct way to view it or not, that is my approach. I did buy CH's MK:HoD, but that was Stalingrad but not totally Stalingrad, IE mixed urban and rural.
I cannot really justify my feeling, it is just gut and I may revise my view as the project moves along or I get it in my grubby little paws.

With the Normandy HASL, MMP can then add the vehicles that came in Paratrooper module for this item.....
All the vehicles from Paratrooper came in BV v2 and v3. The only vehicles were a Pz IV C, a Marder I and 4 x R35. The Pz IV and Marder I were already in BV v1, the R35s, along with the sIG 33 armed Pz III conversion (from RB) were added in BV v2 and continued in v3.

OK, sounds good. But the more AFVs the better......

Yes. We need some of these french tanks in German hands, because of the scenarios for the fighting at La Fiere bridge.

German's shooting captured Baz44s at the Americans using the captured German tanks that the German's captured from the French......
AWESOME......
But do we really need MORE 7-4-7 counters?

... only captured ones.

I was reviewing the Armory pages done by Reid Hutchinson as it related to the 5/8 counters in Paratrooper vs those in BV3. The R-35 tanks in German colors from Para were A,B,D & E, whereas they were a,b,c & d in BV3. Para included PzKfw IVC #E and Marder II #C. There is also a 75 AT 97/38 #E in Para. BV3 includes #A, B, C & D. The question becomes, then, whether there is need/room for the above counters in the Normandy HASL. Granted, we probably already have one "Yes" answer (Kevin). I suspect the timing of the release--ie before or after Yanks 2-- might influence what is included in the Normandy HASL.
