Interesting. I think there is a little mistake on the list. U-boat tactics has already been published (oct. 2010); BTW I look forward to Vietnam and Apache tactics.

That Apache Tactics title sounds like a winner. Should sell well in Arizona.
Here's an idea:
A Cave/Tunnel Warfare tactics books that focuses on the methods American and Allied troops adopted to combat their enemies who fought from underground. It could cover the Pacific, Vietnam, and Afghanistan.

Alessio, you are correct, U-boat Tactics is already out. I've updated the list.
Although we don't have any tactics books on cave and tunnel fighting planned, there are some rumors of a a book on Vietnam Tunnel Rats possibly coming next year...

So, what's next on this "non series"? Jokes apart I've ever been a fan of this kind of books. They are a step forward form the simple technical details of wapons or list of regiments, and give a broader view on military aspects of a battle/engagements. So I would like to know the next moves in this area by Osprey. Personally I ever been a fan of rhodesian tactics applied on the bush (fireforce, exc.)

Assualt Bridging WW2,Medical evacuation & treatment in WW2 and Air Support/Ground attack Tactics in WW2

Assault bridging WW II would be great.

More medium level tactics please! Squad and platoon tactics are well
covered. Army operations are covered in other books, usually about
commanders or campaigns. But the middle level, battalion, brigade and
division tactics have little coverage, at least for world war 2.
I would like the books to cover the decisions that commanders and
their staffs make in battle, including coordination between armor,
artillery and infantry, timing of attacks, use of space, logistics,
etc etc.
That level would be relevant to anybody that wants to understand how
battles are fought. I found the ww2 company and battalion tactics book
quickly dropped back down to lower level tactics, and had too much
detail about things like anti tank rifles and radio sets. Those
equipment details are not what I think a comander is focussed on during a
battle.

-I'd love to see the Elite tactics subgategorie expanded to have more books regarding WW1, the inovations brought by the nations involved, its vital to understand how they defined WW2 warfare.
Infiltration, trench raiding, etc.
"More medium level tactics please! "
-I second that opion too.

I proposed a book on Soviet tactics, motor rifle and Tank Division, Regimental level tactics. Although SU is no long with us, the tactics, teaching on other ex-soviet, communist countries is profound. I served with British Army and can write a book on that based on my recollections and files kept from the 1980s. Osprey interested or not?
