Two small issues, under battle situation, you have II/22/21Pz and I/22/21Pz switched...icons on the map are correct.
Double doh! Oops, I've just realised you meant the text under the map, not the actual downloadable battles... Phew... Thanks for the heads up, Al
Yep, was just talking about the Srtat map Brumbar updates.

I've updated the Order of Battle for both sides, to reflect the merger of I/ and II/736/716 in Buron.
New OOB ->

I/736/716 has been eliminated. 3 excess Volksgrenadiers have deserted.

I see Random v Mlazar in Villers-Bocage has disappeared (has it matched up and started? any AARs yet?
)
And Morge has offered Vimont, ready to play...
Is that one you, KingT? Or you Jcb?
Good luck gents...

No worries Al, and thanks for the shove!
Frustratingly, I have to do V & VB as one campaign, and the other 3 battles as a separate campaign (because the morale penalty means 2 separate squads.csv files, and BA isn't smart enough to handle that; although I've asked Pip if there might be a smarter way to set different base morale using individual scenario .BSFs instead of with squads.csv)
Will get the remaining 3 up this afternoon (London time)

I'm not assigned to that sector, and, allies have no supreme commander right now?
I'll gladly play that scenario. Someone let me know and I can pick it up later today.

Thanks Jcb, Good of you to volunteer!
Do you mind if we leave it for 24 hours... Until midnight London time Monday night/Tuesday morning?
I think KingT may be busy with life and stuff... Hopefully he'll be back into the thick of things soon.
Mac's really keen that KingT picks up the reins as Allied Commander.
It would be a shame to lose his fighting spirit (and wicked strategic plans!
).

Hey Al, Just to keep you in the loop... The 3 remaining scenarios will go up Monday night (London time).
Mac came up with a genius solution of adding our "low morale" units to squads.csv, instead of sending a separate campaign.
Took me awhile to figure out how to, but have now sussed it. So I can add the missing scenarios to our growing campaign.
For Justin's benefit, that means each new file will have every scenario we've ever played (if anyone wants to replay 'em).
Am swapping over from the "old" units to the "new low mo" ones now...
Will do a bit of testing too, to ensure it all still works (and hasn't messed up our old scenarios).
This time tomorrow, Robert should be be your mother's brother...

Gentlemen, Voila... Bob's your Uncle!
The complete campaign for June 7th is now available for download...
For all GJS'44 players, follow the instructions below to delete and re-download, and you'll get the 3 games (June 6th) plus the 5 games (June 7th)...
It doesn't matter if you've already started a scenario. BA will recognise the switch and carry on (that includes us too, Mac, so please replace!
).
*** BUT NOT THE BETA PLAYTEST TEAM; WE HAVE A MUCH EARLIER VERSION; for us, it's safer to download the new one without deleting the old ***
For attackers & defenders, note that arriving BGs will appear from the direction that they came from...
And if that's from the air, it's where the gliders and parachutes are (which may not be immediately visible)...
If you're fighting on Gold, remember to choose the June 7th version.
Some German units are now marked with an asterisk (*). This indicates that its BG is "out of supply" and that unit suffers morale penalties...
Happy hunting guys!

Hey everyone,
Sorry about the late reply, I've been mostly offline this weekend. I have just agreed on the Allies forum to be the interim Allied commander at least until June 7 is over, so for a few more weeks as there are quite a few battles ahead. We'll talk more and iron out the details in the meantime.
I have just downloaded the map pack above after deleting my old scenarios, so I'm ready for fighting. By tomorrow we'll also have a commander for Caen.
