Hoffa's body

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

And as a reminder for everyone the contest as outlined here requires hoffa is found on a map in a game. From the aforementioned link:
ORIGINAL: SeanD
...

Also, don’t forget that our Hoffa’s Body Easter Egg Contest is now starting! For all the veteran Close Combat commanders out there who remember finding Hoffa’s body in the classic Close Combat games, we’ve placed Hoffa’s body somewhere on the battlefields of Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem. The first person to find Hoffa’s body and send us an in-game screenshot of his location along with their serial key will win a free digital copy of any game in the Matrix Games or Slitherine store!

...

And in case it wasn't/isn't obvious DON'T post your findings or serial number in the forums. While that's "Uproariously funny!" follow the directions above.

Can we have a clue? Is he hidden in a building? Sitting in a tree? Riding a windmill?

It's my understanding that there has not been a winning entry yet. So the opportunity is still there. :)

Where is the big front page announcement?

The winner shaking hands as he accepts his prize and tells of the difficulty in winkling out hoffa.

A little need for tranparency in such matters.
