Files

Version 10

All Memoir '44 content is located inside the main module. Scenarios are available in extensions based on their front. The version 10 module is based on previous versions of this module, but the improvements made are not backwards compatible.

1. Scenarios do not show up in the New Game wizard as you are used to from other or previous modules. If you are in the New Game wizard and wish to load a scenario, cancel the dialog. Look under the File menu for the Scenario Chooser item. In there you can find all loaded scenarios.

2. Due to the large number of scenarios to keep up-to-date, and more being added, errors, mistakes and discrepancies creep in. If you notice any crash or problem with a scenario, please report it to bdgza.

Memoir '44 Spanish Edition

• Cards in Spanish

Extension version numbers are simply incremented when changes are made, so they can be compared to installed versions. All extensions are always up-to-date even if one has a higher or lower version number than another. Extensions are updated more frequently than the main module.

Previous Versions (Obsolete)

Version 10 is not backwards compatible. Old scenarios, logfiles and savegames from Module 8.2 (or 9) and before do not work in version 10. If you have any such old files that you would like to play back, you can use the old version. If you are a new player, use Module version 10 above.

Days of Wonder's "Memoir '44"

The module contains content from all Memoir '44 products. If you do not own a certain expansion, ignore the content from that expansion in the module.

Game Etiquette

If you choose the scenario offer to let your opponent choose the side he wishes to play.

When deciding on a card, place it in the center of the board. The other player then moves the card to the discard pile.

Mark the attacker, and mark the target. After the attack, mark the attacker and target as battled (CTRL-B), this will set the attacher to no battle, and the target clear.

Before rolling the dice, declare how many dice you are rolling, and wait for your opponent to agree.

• Experienced Players: to speed up play, only declare the number of dice before an attack when doing a Close Assault, to give your opponent the chance to play Ambush.
  • NOTE: when playing with Combat Cards, Urban or Winter, you must always declare dice before a combat, even when not Close Assault.

If a roll is done for more than the amount of dice allowed, dice are read left to right.

If there is anything that you are doing that may be unclear visually state it in the chat window before you attack.

At the end of your turn, press the "End Turn" button.

Game Tips

• How to remove a wire or sandbags?
  • Make sure you have nothing selected (left-click on empty background to make sure if you are not). Shift-left-click on the tile of the wire/sandbags hex. It will select with a black line. Right-click the tile and perform Delete, or use CTRL-D to Delete it.

• How to add sandbags to a unit?
  • Open Pieces with the Pieces button. Go to the Obstacles tab. Drag the sandbags from the top section onto the game board where you want the sandbags to be.

• Keep your cards hidden, even in your private hand window. You never know who is looking.

• If you are new to Memoir '44 VASSAL Module Version 10, look for the What is New? button in the toolbar to show some of the new features. Especially look for the page about Medals.

  • Select only the unit. Press CTRL-E to toggle the Veteran Star for the selected unit.

• Where are the unit badges?
  • Badges are always attached to a unit, and are not independent pieces. To select a badge for a unit, select the unit, and press CTRL-[ and CTRL-] to cycle to the correct badge.

• If you need any markers during your game, they can be found with the Pieces button in the toolbar, under the Markers tab. Drag the marker you need from the display onto the board.

• NIGHT CHART: when using the night chart, drag it onto your play area from the Night Chart window.

• Overlord: open Pieces with the Pieces button, and go to the Markers tab. There you find a die piece (showing infantry). Drag that die onto the section of the Field General you wish to roll for. Right click the die and choose Roll. The die will roll and show the result. Automatically removed when you click End Turn.

• PBEM Retreat: open Pieces with the Pieces button, and go to the Markers tab. There you find a small circle with a purple flag symbol, like a miniature version of the retreat symbol on the die. Drag this out onto the board to show a unit must be retreated. You can right-click it and increase the count to show it the unit must retreat multiple hexes.

• MINES: You can only place mines if you have picked a player side other than Observer. If you are playing solitaire, choose the Solitaire player side. You'll also be able to access both Axis and Allied hand windows.

Custom Code

There are a few custom Java classes in the Memoir '44 Module. They are nothing special and might not be of use to anyone, perhaps even done wrongly, but since they're in the module, I'll put the code here too.
