Sea Lion-45 v. 0.9 (continued)

The "Capture Chruchill" objective is confusing (starting with the spelling: "Churchill"). At first, I thought it was Winston Churchill but then I read the description "This is the British core tank unit" and I thought "Okay, it's a tank that I am capturing." Then I looked at the trigger and realized that it's Churchill in a Churchill. For that reason, I recommend the objective as "Capture Winston Churchill" and the description as "He is riding around in a namesake Churchill tank."

The briefing also misspells "Churchill."

I was concerned about the "Churchill Exits" trigger in that it has no Unit Definition; it is specified only for Light Blue Alliance units. However, Churchill is the only unit being directed to "Exit the Map" so barring a bizarre accident of some other Allied unit going all the way up north and exiting instead, the trigger should work.

Ironically, Churchill's vehicle is one of these orphans (he needs to be assigned to AI Team 22 "Churchill." Four orphans here:

I see that you give the Kriegsmarine all specialisations which is good, considering that there has been no opportunity to earn them previously and that they will need them, facing what they are facing.

I notice that you give "10" experience to the V1s which seems to help a bit but I also notice that they are significantly more effective against naval rather than land targets. You may want to copy and paste the "V1" custom unit name from the very first one to all of the others so that the player will see that label if he hovers over the unit instead of "MXY7 Ohka."

I was confused by the "Swansea," "Falmouth," and "Aberystwyth" triggers. Then I realized that they are replicating landings(?) Each of these teams just nears the coast and successfully lands because their task is changed to Seek & Destroy?

Whereas "Bangor" (initially on Local Defense?), "Southport," and "Blackpool" (both initially Move to inland Hexes) require "Deploy Unit" triggers? Then why are these units being deployed when they are already on the map? Should it not be "Reposition Units" instead?

Final question: Did you see all of this working to your satisfaction?

On that note, it gives me great pleasure to announce "This campaign CSI sweep is finished." :)

Thanks to Bruce for doing another epic CSI sweep.
As usual I have followed almost all of Bru's recommendation.

Re Sea Lion 45.
I could not get the 'Reposition Unit' to work for the US seaborne reinforcements.
There's a check-mark for 'Include Unit's AI Team' that I hoped will reposition all units in a specific team.
Didn't work for me, not even for the target unit.
In the end I decided to simply remove all these reinforcements. There are already a lot (really a lot) of Allied units in Britain.
