Actually, BFC has not publically specified that the next games will be set
in the WW II era. That has been assumed by players and BFC has not
explicitly denied it. They have, however, mentioned that the new game engine
will be able to portray tactical combat of many different eras. Just for my
part, I would not assume that BFC has no cards up its sleeves.
