CruftMod

I think I have given up on my Axis Aflame project. It's just more work than I can be bothered with.

Instead I am thinking of doing a mod of the Grand Campaign which basically just removes annoyances and egregious imbalances with the minimum of work.

CruftMod would be based on stock Scenario 1 with the standard map but with stacking limits. I haven't decided whether I want to sort it out to make it playable with PDU Off so for the time being assume PDU On.

Here's the putative Changelog. None of it has actually been done yet.

I would appreciated comments and particularly suggestions for removing annoyances on the Allied side, which I am really not very familiar with.
