Anyone know what SB games are in the works?

RE: Anyone know what SB games are in the works?
I've been reading about WW1 lately, Tim Cook's books on the Canadian Corps (At the Sharp End and Shock Troops), and squad combat was basically invented in WW1, as a result of trench warfare. They had to figure out how to get the units into the trenches, and then hold them against counterattacks, so they dispersed the platoon into squads, decentralized command so the loss of any one officer wouldnt shut down the advance, and incorporated fire support like LGMs and rifle grenades into the squad so if the arty missed and the tanks broke down they still had a chance. It's pretty interesting, and the books above really make a point of how tactics evolved throughout the war, I reccomend them.
