I teach 3rd Grade in Bend, Oregon (USA) and I taught my class how to play Memoir '44. Students battled in teams of two and created their own team names. During the course of the year I ran three tournaments and every participant received a certificate after the championship battle.  You can download the Word document and customize it, or the PDF just to print off and use.

Certificates:  Allied Certificate                                 Allied Certificate B       
                     Axis Certificate                                 Axis Certificate B          
                               Memoir '44 Certificate         

Tournament Brackets:   8 Players           12 Players             16 Players   
These brackets are for single elimination tournaments with teams or players of various numbers.  Each bracket provides a box to record the number of units eliminated by the teams or players. After downloading, these can be customized for your use.

Tournament Record Sheet:        
This tournament record sheet provides the opportunity for a hard-copy documentation of tournaments and games. You can record which battles were played, medals earned, units eliminated, the date of each competition, and other notes you deem important.  After downloading the Word document, this page can be customized for your use.

The teams who won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd received a custom painted 1/32 army figure that you can find at any toy store.  While the format I used was simple, it would work for any age and every ability level.

Memoir '44 Tournament Trophies:  
I bought these 1/32 army men at a local store called Fred Meyer.  I got 64 men (in six poses) for $1 US and painted them myself.  The students like them and it's a cheap, easy trophy for the winning teams. Every student got an unpainted soldier and 1st-3rd place teams chose which painted figure they wanted.

The following PDF document is a compilation of many of the Variant Rules that Memoir '44 fans have suggested on the Forum. Enjoy!

The following PDF is a reworking of the Night Visibility Chart so that it can be used as a Weather Chart as suggested by Yangtze.
Memoir '44 Weather:

The following PDF is a reworking of the Night Visibility Chart for my Day Cycle idea. This chart will allow battles to progress through daytime and night as you play.
Memoir '44 Day Cycle:

I created an updated Player Aid that includes all of the current expansions.  Brummbar provided me with the materials he used for his initial Player Aid and I followed much of his format.

My document outlines all Memoir '44 units on the first page, followed by the Terrain of each expansion in the order they were released. Special rules are inserted throughout with many outlined on the last pages.
Memoir '44 Player Aid:        - Updated March 28, 2009 
When new units, rules, or terrain are introduced by DoW, I will update the Player Aid for people to download. All of the rules and units are updated to include the Mediterranean Expansion and the Campaign Book Volume 1. You can find the new units at the bottom of the first page and the new rules on the last page. Previously I had some mistakes throughout the document, so you might want to print out a whole new copy. Enjoy!

With the upcoming Mediterranian Expansion, I've been looking around at North African desert units. This slideshow gives a few pictures of units painted in desert camo.

The new Mediterranean Expansion focuses on North Africa and introduces new units and terrain for that theater. However, a large part of the Mediterranean Theater was fought across the peninsula of Italy.

In an effort to represent the vital conflict that took place in Italy in 1944, I have designed and play-tested some of the battles that took place around Monte Cassino. These battles follow the first three failed attacks by Allied forces on the Gustov line and then their final and ultimately successful drive past the town of Cassino. Take a look at the five Cassino scenarios in my section or click on the links I have provided.

The scenarios are designed in the following order:
Breaking the U.S. 36th Division
The first attack on the Gustov line was across the Rapido River by the U.S. 36th Division. The Germans had prepared their defenses well, clearing both sides of the river and creating inter-locking positions. These defenses, combined with mines, devistated the Allied attack.
Capture of the Cassino Station
The second attack on the Cassino front was into the town itself. The fierce Maori Battalion quickly captured the Cassino train station and engineers worked to clear a path for armor support. A powerful German counter-attack drove the Allies back to their starting lines with terrible losses.
Snakeshead Ridge
While the Maori attacked the Cassino station, a force of Gurkhas made a parallel attack across Snakeshead Ridge toward the looming Monastery. German sniper fire and defensive positions limited Allied advances and handed them another defeat.
Assault on Cassino
After he biggest air bombardment ever seen in the Mediterranean theatre, the Allies attacked along the Monte Cassino line. German defenders emerged from the rubble and took up their defenses again, managing to halt the Allied advance despite being outnumbered.
Taking Monte Cassino
Alexander wanted a decisive breakthrough, so he reinforced the line before starting the fourth Cassino Battle. The French mountain troops broke through the lightly held line in the West, while Polish troops stormed the Monastery and the British 8th Army attacked Cassino itself. The Germans held for a while but eventually were forced to withdraw.

With permission from ColtsFan76, I created my own version of his great Roll Call sheets. I have including pictures of every element you will find in the box when you open any of the Memoir '44 products, except the cards; those are listed for your convenience.
Players can use my Roll Call sheets or ColtsFan's to make sure they have all of the pieces of a given set. This can be used after an Overlord scenario when pieces may have been mixed up, or simply to check that nothing has been lost.
