Things are, indeed, slow. Maybe HPS needs to put out another game soon?
Some of my favorites:
Roadblock at Ban Kho Lai (DBP)
I really like this scenario. It's balanced, has quite a bit of strategy from both sides of the battle, and is fun to play on either side.
Another Blister at Dnyepr (RV)
I've played this one with a few of the newer PBEMers and find it to be an interesting scenario. Both sides have a lot of choices to make, and if you guess incorrectly, your opponent has a much bigger window for success.
Little Stalingrad at Ponyri (RV)
I playtested this one, and have played it a few times here. It's not an easy scenario for the Germans, but there's something about this scenario I really like. As the defender (Russians) you have to be really smart about how you deploy your armor. Lose too much of it and it's going to be tough road. It's a very interesting scenario to play, I feel.

I'll throw out several ones that come to mind:
The Sharp End #11 (ES)
Small map, but geniusly constructed such every movement needs to be perfect - on both sides.
Distinguished Service (ES)
For a very small map, this scenario offers both sides decent flexibility and a lot of excitement.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Bloody Canyon (SAW)
This scenario offers both sides a lot of flexibility, but it is very evenly matched and the outcome should come right down to the wire.
The Capture of Balta - H2H (AOTR)
A fun, classic AOTR scenario. However I somehow got a Major Victory against Oz in this - so do I need any other reasons for liking it? :)
Amin's End (SAW)
An offbeat scenario in which the entire purpose of the scenario is to capture a specific leader. It has a risk of possibly being a letdown for you (e.g., if the leader gets taken almost immediately or if the leader eludes your guantlet and you spend the rest of the scenario on a wild goose chase); but it is a very fun concept and can be very entertaining.
Morgan's Stand (ES)
Bug River Crossing (AOTR)
Ban Him Lam (DBP)
