Release Notes:
07/06/2006	1.2	Major Changes:
	Breakdown, Remnant and Task Force Markers are now on their own
"Reductions" map.  These counters are limited to the counter  mix and are returned to this new map window when deleted.  
	You can name these pieces with the name of the parent unit:
  		• Ctrl-L: ID the unit
  		• Ctrl-D: Return piece to Reductions Map
  		• Ctrl-R: Replace the piece back to the main map

	Added "Break Through Combat" markers
  		• Ctrl-K: Place marker

	Send To Deadpool option added for all units:
  		• Ctrl-D: Deadpool (send to)

	CRT Results changed to reflect when ROUTS are to be used.

	The module was renamed by removing the apostrophe in the name.
This was preventing the module from showing up in the "What's being played" Java Applet on the VASSAL site.  Thus, you will be prompted again to enter your player name/password.  You will also need to reset your preferences (report moves, etc).
