RE: Anyone know what SB games are in the works?
There should be no SBs titles before Spanish Civil War or for sure WW2, just doesn't make sense. The squad wasn't much of a focus until WW2 and beyond. You haven't even gotten all of WW2 covered yet. There is still eary war areas to cover plus a title to cover French, British have yet to come out. Then there are real possibilities that cover battles like SB Market Garden or Bulge or Normandy etc etc where you can have some larger battles that I am sure some people would play them. Market Garden could have scenarios that cover bns over different areas and eventually into bdes/rgts or even divisions if somebody wants to play those. You make a bn sized scenario for 1/505th, then another for 2/505, then 3/505th, then link them together and you have a scenario for the 505th. So you might have a start to finish like in Brit 1 AB area and the scenario might be hundreds of turns, so what. If the product is good, people will play them. It would be a new area to challenge people or a try it you'll like it thing. If you really want to know, make one for testing and see how it goes. I would love to see somebody do a good Battle of Jerusalem 67 and there are plenty other areas to do. Of course there would have to be some sort of replcement and resupply worked in somehow, but I think would be well worth it. So many areas to cover would definitely extend the series where it belongs........WW2 and beyond, not falling into WW1 or earlier where the squad was an afterthought, except maybe cav and indian days.
Besides, I don't think there is anything out there that can top a conflict between an army of Cowardly Lions vs and army of Barney Fifes. :)
