It must have been Doomed Batallions or AP2...
Journal 4 has a full list of overlays and where they come from.

[11.23] Overlays

(i) How do I keep them in place on the board?


A common solution is to use plastic page protectors (like the ones you protect your ASLRB pages with) and store them alphabetically in a ring folder. Small overlays can be kept in the plastic pages used to store card collections. When actually using overlays, there are many solutions. Many people recommend rubber cement, which will stick to the boards but peel off harmlessly when no longer needed. Don't confuse this with normal glue!

Other solutions include clear plexiglass overlays to hold the overlays in place (also helps to protect the boards). "Blue Tak" (that's the Australian product name; there are equivalents in most countries), the blue sticky stuff used to hang posters on the wall, will work fine in small amounts, but note that it has a tendency to leave a stain where it has been applied. Some people like to use draftsman's tape -- a type of clear adhesive tape that's designed to peel off easily without damaging the material underneath.

(ii) Where can I find a particular overlay?

The following is a complete list of official product overlays (at time of publication). NOTE: many third-party products also come with overlays.

* West Of Alamein
"D1-D6", "E1", "H1-H6", "S1-S8", "SD1-SD8", "W1-W4", "X1-X5".

* Code Of Bushido
"1-5", "B1-B5", "G1-G5", "M1-M5", "O1-O5", "RP1-RP5", "Wd1-Wd5", "X6".

* Gung Ho
"Be1-Be7", "Ef1-Ef3", "OC1-OC4", "P1-P5".

* Croix de Guerre
"OG1-OG5", "St1-St3", "X7-X18"

* SL Overlays (came with GI: Anvil of Victory)
"A-O". Hardly ever used anymore. (In fact, I know of no TAHGC- published ASL scenario that uses them, even the updated versions of old GI-level scenarios.)

* '95 Annual
Deluxe Mapboard overlays "dx1-dx9"- they were undersized, and replaced by an insert from the General magazine (Vol. 30 #3) later that year.

* Doomed Battalions
"RR1-RR14", "X19-X24", "OW1".

* Action Pack #2
"6", "Hi1-Hi7", "X25-X29".

Thanks guys.
What happened was I was checking out/perusing the new SP 11 scenarios, several of which use Hi7 and Hi5, and my overlays just weren't there! I have them all sorted in large zip/poly type bags. I finally found the missing ones, at which point I remembered that I had seperated them years ago since they weren't laminated yet. I actually haven't gotten around to laminating any overlays from DB onward (they're still uncut), shows you how much I've used 'em (actually when I play ftf I usually travel to play, so I'm always using someone else's ASL stuff). Guess I need to get to it sometime soon.
