Could you list the 28 scenarios and for each of them the currently missing features that would need to be implemented before adding the scenarios ? That would help us to see the big picture and where to focus on.

Avec plaisir

I miscounted, there are only 27 - sorry.
There are only a few that have any rules not already implemented - most are straight forward. I don't have time to find the scenario numbers on DoW - but if that would help I can do that later.

They are:
1) Operation Spring - no special rules
2) Gold Beach - - no special rules
3) Utah Beach - no special rules
4) Juno Beach - no special rules
5) Carentan Causeway - no special rules
6) Operation Goodwood - no special rules
7) Twin Villages - no special rules
8) Counter Attack at Aras - no special rules BUT the units on the map should all be British Commonwealth units.
9) Vaumicel Manor - no special rules
10) Carentan - no special rules
11) Battle for Hill 178 - no special rules (fordable streams and minefields both work, IIRC)
12) Bretel Wood - Night Attack rules (which also work)
13) Forêt d'Ecouves - no special rules (but it's not mentioned in the description that ALL allied infantry are special forces)
14) Bastogne Corridor West - no special rules
15) Bastogne Corridor East - Artillery Deck used (but that also works, IIRC)
16) Strasbourg - ONE of the rivers is frozen solid and do not count in any way other than cosmetic (i.e. it is NOT a Frozen river in the sense of the rules).
17) Moyland Wood - no special rules
18) Bloody Ridge - no special rules
19) Clearing Matanikau River - no special rules Note that in the scenario map the EXIT markers are just ordinary victory medals.
20) Battle of Kalatch - no special rules
21) Battle of Warsaw - no special rules
22) Mignano Monte Lungo - no special rules
23) Tunesia - Allied Armor can only move 2 hexes - but the North African Rules are not in effect (this was made before the Mediterranean expansion was made)
24) Gallabat and Metemma - no special rules
25) Russian Breakout - no special rules
26) Lipovec - no special rules
27) Rzhev - Allied armor may only move 2 hexes - but BLITZ rules are NOT in effect.

Dont forget "Tenaru" its on the DoW

Thanks a lot, looks like we could add some of them without too much extra work. It would be really great if you extract the scenario ids, that would definitively help, thanks !

OK, so turns out I have to know what's best for you to get, @Tisaac - because for Operation Goodwood (to take an example) there is the ID# 9579 (which I had to find through the list of scenarios here on BGA) but that has no map layout, the webpage from Daysofwonder with the scenario which exists in two versions https://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44/e ... w/?id=3701 and https://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44/e ... view/?id=9 but neither of those have an ID#.
Alternatively I could make an m44 file in the editor of each of the maps for you and just send them via email.

Let me know what's easiest for you.

If you find them in the scenario list on BGA here, just give me that id, otherwise give me the daysofwonder URL and I will try to find them.
Thanks again !

I would vote to remove the desert tank maps. In regular play they are just a crap shoot where the first player to get an all in the right section, or an armor overrun will most likely win. They can be great in breakthrough, but not the regular map.

* 1st armoured to the rescue
* panzers versus grants
* dug in at sidi omar
* sidi rezegh airfield

And I have doubts about into the cauldron.

Especially the first four, if you have an armour assault and/or an all in the right section, that gives you so much of an advantage. Playing it two ways will not guarantee a balance in that regard.

I certainly agree with all these choices, though I hade Sidi Rezegh Airfield more than the others, honestly.
