RE: Gold Club counters and scenarios?

Much like Fall of Luxembourg, I expect they will get their own entry rather than as an expansion of an existing product. The only additional scenarios added to existing products have been those that have been in Daily Content (those such as the "extra" Fronte Russo, Fall of France (Morocco), Burning Tigers (GD) or Blue Division (Red Fury and Spanish Blues) all of which could be played with the items included with the game set. Fall of Lux and the East German scenarios are being (1) released as a product, and not as expansion scenarios, despite the small size of the product, and (2) add new countries AND units, the divisional sets are certainly fun and I have several but they do not add new countries or arms to the PG world.
Yeah, I know that's pretty ridiculously over defined as to what goes where but there has to be some order here. Heck, I bet Dewey got all sorts of crap about the decimal system...
No "minor" country left behind...

I concur with Matt. Anything with a scenario released as a "product" that can be ordered from the store (free or not) should get its own page. Daily Content scenarios should be listed with 'their' game.
Two exceptions:
The Division Downloads. Since they don't have scenarios and are really just alternate unit art for use in existing scenarios, they don't get their own page.
War of the Worlds. Free Daily Content, but has a scenario that is not really an 'extra' scenario for Elsenborn Ridge due to the nature of its theme.
Two question for the group. I have the Division Downloads. Should I add them to the unit art I've been sending Shad? If so, should they go on the standard units pages with all the other versions, or should there be a separate units page(s) for them? Shad will obviously have a veto here since he'll have to set up any new pages.
BTW, if we do add the Division Download art, my intent is to start on it after we've completely filled in the art in the Units pages. We have at least one pic for every counter as of now, but I've been adding pics for the minor variations in art/counter style from the different games. I've finished the Americans and Brits, and am working on the Germans now.

@plloyd
Thanks for the link the one listed, under scenario 21, doesn't have underscores in the URL (behind_the_beaches vs behindthebeaches) and links to a dead page, for me, anyway..
