What to share new game options in the works.

It should allow players to set Italian and European "no beachhead" penalty values or choose "cumulative" option and set "per hex/per turn" values with maximum amount it can grow. For example when set to 10 and 10 hexes are missing it will charge -100 per turn.

Very nice. So If I set Italy to 0 I could try a game where I invade Southern France in the fall of 1943 and see how that might have worked.

You don't have to invade Italy in 43, you just have to invade somewhere. So even in the current game you can try invading Southern France instead of Italy.

Pavel did a nice job on this and it has a lot of flexibility so you can alter the penalty in several ways or just get rid of it if you want to. In hindsight, the header of Italy and Europe might be misleading. It should probably be 1 Feb 44 and 1 Jul 44.

Yes, naming is a bit misleading as it should be Europe and Europe w/o Italy. Will rename it to the date columns as Joel suggested.
