I know that some of you have that information at your disposal. Question is, are you willing to share it?
Yes, there are games in the works. Unfortunately, we have to take an oath of alliance and the penalty for violating the oath is very severe. The last time I heard of someone giving out such information without authorization, they were sent to a remote post up in the North Pole.
It's not a matter of willingness to share. Anyone involved in the development of new games is asked not to divulge what is being or could be worked on in the near future. There are reasons for this, and I do tend to agree with them.
That said, there are things in the hopper, but that's about all any of us can say.
Possibilities and educated guesses:
WWII - North Africa, Crete/Malta or Normandy
"Out there" but cool - Boer Wars...Starship Troopers =)
How about GI Joe? That would be cool. I'm also a playtester, sometimes it's hard to not talk about it. :) Suffice to say no one is going to be dissappointed over the next few years.
Technically it is about who one references and where, as to what can get repeated.
I will post my reference first before getting into it. Rich Hamilton wrote some time back on the Wargamer.com board that there is a World War I title in the works.
It came based upon a discussion there of artwork included in the current user manual that was showing WWI gear.
Rich confirmed that that was in development (but not the scope of the project) -so that is publicly available material.
Ed Williams wrote some more about it on his board, which is publicly available (but only if you register and log on there) -in which he wrote some material, that well -I don't think Ed realized that Rich confirmed the existence of the title (and this was a few months before he (Ed) wrote some info) -so depending upon where you look you can find some information (certainly not complete info by any means ... but sourced material from people that would know) -whereby you, the PC gaming fan can connect the dots.
You didn't hear it from me, but there might be a limited edition of "Squad Battles: Saragarhi" to provide Oz with a challenge...

Agree. I would like to see 1939 - 1940 ETO too.
A Patton into Russia with German units would be sweet too!
