So does anyone know what's happening with them? One can still get M army books after all this time for 5 £0.00 GBP or $ not sure which it is but the MM books are hard to find and are expensive ( and weren't released as long ago as the M books).

List 1-3 are seemingly available from Caliver Books
link who published them.

Book 4 was published by WRG. Black Hat is often a good source, but the website isn't responding as I write this.

The books are currently in the process of being revised. How long this will take is anyone's guess but Phil is certainly working on them.

I saw he's working on them and was asking back in April what people wanted, 1 complete book or 4 books for the lists as well as hard or soft cover.
With that I thought it was close. I think I looked at cavalier books website where it told me out of stock but will check again to make sure.
Do you happen to know how much things will be changed, I didn't follow the MM yahoo forums discussion on the subject?

Perhaps looking at the Army lists in DBA V3 would help.

They'll reflect PB's current thoughts on how certain armies
behaved.

Trying not to buy them if I can help it hence the question and pick up some reserve copies before mine fall apart.

The New Jersey (USA) store "On Military Matters" still has them listed, and that is where mine came from. They are more expensive, because they are physically larger (8.5 x 11 -ish).

DBA will help to some extent.
Phil hasn't had the open free-for-all discussion this time unlike when the MM lists were first done. Once in a while something crops up but other than that, not much clue.

Phil is working on the MM list so fervently that he is unable to answer any questions about problems with DBA. When you send him a message asking a question he writes back write back saying he's too busy working on these new lists to answer you.

Oh well will wait and see. I remember the first ones being available online to look at in a beta sort of version before they printed them hence I thought they were again but either missed it or couldn't find them.

It would be nice if the troop classifications are the same for each army in the different formats. And that the same troops are available for the same time frames.
