Ah, good!
What did you do about the missing Munich?

Obviously we didn't mention to just buy 8 oz or a pound of Munich locally if you have an LHBS nearby. Now that...

Here’s a good article on Crystal vs Caramel (which could be the same BYO article mentioned above):

Weyermann, Dingemans, Castle, Muntons, Crisp, Briess and most European specialty malt producers produce caramel type malts in a roaster. My homebrew store has limited space so they don’t stock every brand a recipe may call for. So... I make caramel substitutions (matching approximate color) between these brands confidently.

I added 3 oz of Victory to mash . Nearest LHBS is over 30 miles away and by the time I realized Munich was missing,I was several pints in and wasn't about to drive.

Munich isn't a Biscuit type malt. 2 oz. of Melanoidin may have come closer to 8 oz. of light Munich. But the good news is that you made beer, and it will most likely taste fine.

Glad to hear it was a success! (and good call on the not driving)

Agreed. I'm going to keep a couple of pounds of Munich and melanoidin on hand for future use.
