Great news, Koz.
A question ... why working on non-HASL scenarios? With all the official and unofficial stuff, there are lots of bocage scenarios already. I really like your HASL ones - but more geo map stuff is not really a turn on.

Perhaps a smaller HASL map?
BTW, asking for help on Game Squid is like asking for a punch in the groin ... there are soo many a-holes there willing to take a swing. Since most of the non-HASL stuff is based on little more research than an Osprey book, whatever they published in 5.2 is probably junk based on no-source material anyway. Heck, even the good stuff in FFP and Schwerpunckt is mostly made up, too.

Case in point: A recent FFP scenario on Poland 1939 duplicates what I have been working on. The two sources listed are ridiculous. One source is a fictional account published in a German language neo-nazi rag, and the other is a book that contains absolutely nothing on the battle itself. And yes, I have both sources for comparison. The geo map is all wrong, and the OB is just made up. Yet these guys get kudos for their design. So, I would go with what you know, and screw the rest.
