Marine Corps.
It would focus on detailing battles\campaigns fought throughout the Corps history, from the Halls of Montezuma to the current era. I believe this PzC engine would handle it brilliantly.
What would be your favourite expansion to Panzer Corps?

EASTERN FRONT THEATRE EXPANSIONS
I voted for Eastern Front Expansions because of the type of varied terrain, dramatic weather, opposing forces dynamics, machines and men utilized in that theatre and also for the very bloody "take no prisoners" style of war. It was armored warfare on an epic scale by men and machines that will never been seen again thankfully on the face of the earth.
Sure it has been done again and again, but not all of the battles have been done, not all of the little skirmishes and recon scouts, etc. It is just such a deep and rich subject that inspires fierce combat with armor and men on both sides. It also lends itself to many "what if" scenearios.
I know some games have little expansion campaigns of Russia and Finland, but not much really. The Finns used lots of German equipment. I don't think that any of the Russian and Japanese war has been covered. Russia made a bold stab into Manchuria with a million troops to fight the million Japanese troops in 1945 that drove down into China and northern Korea. This campaign shaped Asia and the world as much as the European war. I have NEVER seen any of that on a PC game (or maybe I missed it). Can you imagine T34/85 tanks all out on Japanese troops and tanks (yes they were like toys) in a Banzai charge?
Also I would be interested in seeing an expansion on Panzer Corps or the upcoming WWI game in regards to the Eastern Front during WWI and right after in the Russian revolution, plus the Russian Civil War immediately thereafter. Serious battles between the Reds and the Whites in Russia, Ukraine, Crimea and also European intervention forces from America, Britain, Canada, etc. Then there was the dramatic story of the Czech Legion that controlled much of Southern Russia and the Trans Siberian Railway from Europe to Vladavistock (sic). This combined expansion could include some great battles with men, horses, WWI armor, WWI planes, trains and ships (yes the Whites had a navy). Wow, I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
Just my $.02

Old Timer Panzer General fan. Maybe a Volksturm soldier now. Did they let Volksturm drive Panzers?
Pacific Theatre and Korean War. If the Pacific is done then you automatically have the back drop for doing a Korean War expansion, which will largely use WWII tech, with a few 50's updates.
Pacific can be done from US, Commonwealth and Japanese perspectives and the Korean War from US, United Nations / S.Korean and N.Korean/Chinese (poss Soviet) perspective.
Also an option to have a nuclear weapon(s) in the Korean War, ideally at a cost of lots of prestige!
After all if MacArthur had his way in the Korean War atomic weapons would have been used against China....
Plenty of scope for alternate reality with these as well.

One game that I wish I had the time to play is WAR IN THE EAST, but the complexity is simply too daunting for me....saying that, I would love to see a 30-40 scenario linked campaign for Operation Barbarossa.
My second choice would be a linked RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR campaign. When I saw that armored trains were in this game, that was my first thought of a mod, but I have no skill at creating a graphics set.
