Caumont-l'Eventé
Edit: Two humans again. I fixed.
Edit: I moved the sixth primary VP from Hotto-les-Bagues to Chienbourg. Hotto-les-Bagues is too far north to be a realistic objective, given the premise of the scenario and the history of the battle (the British have been ordered to halt and hold; they will eventually be ordered to withdraw). I also moved the primary VP in the nameless hex adjacent to Montbrocq to Montbrocq itself.
Edit: I also moved the secondary VP in the nameless town south of Villy-Bocage to Orval. My thinking is this: Temporarily, the British are halted and ordered to hold the six VP's in the Villers-Bocage) but there is a gap in their own lines between Bricquessard and Tracy-Bocage. A prudent commander would seek to ensure that a supply connection was established so that the salient remained viable. Taking Orval would be essential for this and Anctoville and Caumont-l'Eventé would mean securing the flanks of the salient.
Edit: To that effect, I added a primary objective to "Open and maintain supply lines" with the description "A continuous supply line must reach from Planquery through Tracy-Bocage and on to Point 213, the spearhead of the British advance." The triggers in the "Supply Lines" folder facilitate this objective.
Edit: Considering these changes, it seemed advisable to make both primary objectives to be evaluated at "Scenario turn limit."
Edit: Tweaked and enhanced the briefings and outcomes from the Villers-Bocage scenario to correspond with these changes.
Edit: Added "Change Income" and "Event Popup" effects to the UK-1500 trigger.
Edit: Added the Michael Wittmann module from the Villers-Bocage scenario. Moved the 1/2/101 SS Pz and 2/2/101 SS Pz - Wittmann units back a hex or two to give the British some breathing room at start (which is how they were positioned in the Villers-Bocage scenario).
Comment: By far, this Caumont-l'Eventé is the scenario that I would include in the campaign over the Villers-Bocage scenario. Much better portrayal of the situation, in my opinion.
Edit: Here are your outcome images.
They are the same as Villers-Bocage because it is my anticipation that you will use only one scenario or the other:

I'm finished with Caumont-l'Eventé and the updated version is in the "Back to Erik" folder.
Remember, only "Edits" are changes that I have actually done to the scenario. They are for you to review and approve. "Comments," "Questions," and "Suggestions" are things for you to consider and act upon as necessary.
