1. I am sure OOB will eventually give us a western front campaign, but the question is how will OOB handle that campaign? I would love to see a British Core fighting in France in 1940 or Greece and Crete in 41, but if not we can always revisit the desert and take on the Afrika Corps until the US forces get involved. I think a potential western front campaign could also be the first to give us 3 core army groups, giving players a American Core (the largest of the 3) a British core, and a Canadian Core. Canada had plenty of unique battles that could either get their own respective scenarios (The Scheldt and the battle of Ortona are some easy examples) or simply work as a smaller independent force similar to the SS faction for the Germans. I would love to see an Endsieg style campaign if the player manages to pull of Operation Market Garden, but there is still plenty of fun to be had with a historical campaign.
2. An Australian/New Zealand campaign would be great, as it could start with a north African beginning then move over to some of the lesser known battles of the Southern Pacific Campaign, like the Kokoda Trail campaign. Limiting equipment like the Finnish DLC would make for an interesting campaign.
3. Chinese Campaign, This isn't the first time a Chinese counter to Morning Sun has been discussed, but a historical Chinese campaign where players could control both the nationalists and communists might work out, but I don't know if it would be very historically accurate to have both sides coordinating military plans, as they often opposed each other during the war. Either way the Sino Japanese war is never touched in most games period, it would be nice to play as the other side
4. France, another idea discussed many times, following the French from the beginning of the war (Maybe the first scenario could give us command of the failed invasion of 1939) to the fighting in North Africa and Italy to Operation Dragoon and the fighting around Colmar. Maybe it could follow what the Winter War DLC did and focus most of it's scenarios during the fall of france so we can use those French Giants against the feeble Panzer tanks.
5. Japanese Burma Road, another return to the Pacific, and it could go either was with a historical core that sees japan defeated, but instead of being restricted to Burma, players can also see the late war Chinese Offensives and resist the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria, or follow Rising Sun with the Japanese Army invading into India after Burma, with support from the small Indian national army.
These are just a few ideas I had, and regardless of what DLC are coming next, I look forward to them all! OOB has really grown on me and become one of my favorite strategy game, that hybrid of PzC and the Commander games with a lot of support from both devs and the community! Hope you can all add your two cents to the idea bin

, a China DLC would be absolutely fantastic. Would be an instant buy for me. Yes, it would undermine my own scenarios, but I love playing official content, it’s far better than mine!
