The next chapter will continue with the battles fought by the British Army which follows the timeline from the beginning of the assault on Pegasus Bridge onwards to the end of the European theatre (if I'm not mistaken).
There's a similar thread to this one asking which theatres we would like to see. In my case, the Pacific campaign or North African campaign, but this won't happen in the following 3-5 years at least!

I voted Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal as well as Kursk. Few games capture the perilous jungles and volcano sand of the Pacific Campaign properly but when they do it's an absolutely horrifically beautiful experience, nothing like experiencing what was to become the most brutal theater right on your monitor. I also voted Kursk because a massive all out offensive involving the most tanks ever fielded in a battle before sounds amazing.
Theres just something about watching the two totalitarian giants duking it out on the vast endless fields of the Soviet Union that never ceases to amaze me.

As Flying pointed out, the next few chapters will no doubt follow up on the Normandy campaign with the liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands; Operation Market Garden, and so on. However, when that's wrapped up, I would do ANYTHING to see the battle of France in all its 1940 glory! Sure it'd be awesome to see Kursk and Stalingrad, Iwo Jima and Manila; but the battle of France and the Low Countries - the initial stages of WW2 on a whole - are completely left out, in gaming and often in general. Imagine playing in the invading German Wehrmacht, blitzing on Panzer Is and IIs, or as the defending French, plastering the enemy with FM 24/29s and halting tanks with a Boys rifle. Battling it out in the narrow alleys of Stonne, the wide streets of Calais, or the vast fields of Hannut. Awesome factor aside, it'd be far simpler to implement than, say, the Eastern front or the Pacific theater, because it's still set in France (you can use existing assets, and overall terrain is similar to existing maps), and the British and German factions are already done; you just need to change them a bit to go from 1944 to 1940. Plus, you could get three underrated factions out of it, the Belgians, Dutch, and French. However, if I couldn't chose this, I'd go Italian campaign, no question. Carcanos

If you can pay all our salaries so we don't have to work, that would probably speed things up

I've put forward the 1940 Blitzkrieg both in France and the Low Countries, but I'd also like to see some lesser known battles from the Eastern Front such as Operations Trappenjagd and Störfang, or the Novorossiysk landings.

Here here! Rabble rabble rabble.
I'm hoping for a space chapter; Laser Thompson will be OP though.

I agree, we should have the Andromeda theatre or the battle for the Pillars of Creation in 4023 A.C. Please don't forget to add the Space Dinosaurs or else it won't be realistic...
I approve this plan!

Hey, looks like Battle of France is holding first place. Chapter Four FTW!

I'm still a fan of the invasion of Poland... galloping around on a horse to flank the enemy and gather intelligence. But that's probably just me!

Not only you
Polish cavalry wasn't commonly used as it was in WWI. There is the myth about Poles attacking German tanks with horses and sabres.. ;D

I feel like the first few chapters should focus on what the paratroopers had to do. Since we already have the Pegasus Bridge missions incoming, then maybe some other mission that the British Airborne had to achieve the night before the landings? If not, then maybe with the American Paratroopers around Saint Mer Eglise. I think it would be nice to go in chronological order. That way we could write our own war stories.xD

Once the British sector of Normandy and potentially Market Garden are more complete, the devs have high hopes for the US sector of Normandy, which also means Fallschirmjäger

I am just waiting to storm Omaha Beach. Also, the defense of Carentan would be a great way to introduce US armor when they get the chance to work on it. But for right now the focus is, as the dev's have said, to be on infantry combat. Then they will intro a British and German tank and I can finally begin my armor career!

If and when we see the US sector, I'm also excited because captured R 35s were among the vehicles the Germans used in their initial push against Saint-Mère-Église (at least I think it was Saint-Mère-Église), so that's something we could see! Despite them being sh*tty as actual tanks xD
