If it sells well, you can bet there will be a few expansions. I would be really excited about a bunch of different expansions which included all the big nations.
I am voting for italian front than. Offers new maps, and also new armies (complete Italian one e.g.)
I think the most likely addition is either Battle of the Bulge or Italian front. Both of those would offer attractive options because they're close in time frame to Normandy, and would need fewer unit additions (Italian Front is the more ambitious of the two).
Things like Eastern Front, Afrika Korps, and so on would be interesting, but would require a big number of new assets and so those are probably the kind of expansions we'd see further down the line.

If there is going to add to nation as they done in RD, I would want some Spaghetti, Caviar, and Mustikkapiirakka
I'd personally love North Africa, but I'd also settle for early Eastern Front.
Leningrad theatre to be precise. Or Kuban and Stalingrad. Drive to Moscow is overdone I feel.
Not looking forward to the vain attempts to balance broad eras though technology wise.

North Africa followed by Italy would be grand, as Italy is a mix and match of equipment from Normandy and Africa for the most part with a couple bits which aint, allowing for alot of reskinning
It also allows for the glory that is the vickers Mk VI and Matilda II tanks! Along with Valentines through their long development as the most produced british tank!

I wonder how this is going to work with Eugen's emphasis on historical and time frame accuracy, eventually you'd run out of interesting divisions for a campaign. It would be quite contriving to let divisions from different time periods fight each other, on maps from different campaigns. But making DLC and/or standalone games that cannot crossplay seems like a great way to kill the community by splitting it way too much.

I would say that each "DLC" has 1 division on each side which you can play with for free, but if you buy in you get access to say, 2 divisions a side or something like that which have much more interesting units and so on, when the host is making the game, they select the theatre, and so only divisions which hit the "check list" of that theatre can be used, as everyone has 2 free divisions for each theatre (1 for each side of the conflict) there wont be as big an issue with splitting the community.
At least thats how i would do it if i was making them
Ofcourse, the free divisions will work fine, but they will be rather average/bland in terms of assets, nothing seriously unique about them or interesting, enough to peak interest in the dlc theatre ofcourse and to play, but still gives insentive for people to buy.
Come on, will you tell me that you have never dreamed of pitting the 1944 Panzer Lehr against some 1939 Polish Cavalry Division in El Alamein?
The answer is: no one knows.
We are presently focusing on releasing that one ...
I have a dream that one day----Come on, will you tell me that you have never dreamed of pitting the 1944 Panzer Lehr against some 1939 Polish Cavalry Division in El Alamein?
No of course not, that would not be historically accurateCome on, will you tell me that you have never dreamed of pitting the 1944 Panzer Lehr against some 1939 Polish Cavalry Division in El Alamein?
ok maybe a little
yes I do
I want to see forgotten battlefield. Indians, British, Siamese and Japanese in Burma.
If Soviet Union must be in what about their Eastern Front aka Mandchuria ?
Honestly, if they make a DLC with British, Italians and Ethiopians in the Horn of Africa, I will buy every other product they ever made or will make out of sheer respect

I think for the sake of cross-playing through different expansions and to NOT split the community, it would be better if the technology added would stay late war 44-45. However, I'm all for maps from all parts of the war. Maybe a Steel Division 2 could take place earlier in the war, but expansions for this game should keep the same time-frame.
If we are already talking about financially unviable... I want to see Balkan stuff. Partisans... partisans everywhere.
Attention to the more "forgotten" fronts would be nice, like Greece and Yugoslavia.
You mean you don't want a Red Dragon-esque 2000 units including super-unfeasible prototypes and cheap stuff like a Russian wheelbarrow-borne granny with a rifle and a pitchfork?
