Command - who do we have lined up for 2011?
A few months ago, I wrote a blog talking about the future of the Command series - and giving some titillating glimpses at what was due to come out in 2011.
I didn't really feel like I could keep you in the dark for much longer though, so here is the full list of 2011 Command titles for you to have a look at!
CMD 11 Hannibal (February)
CMD 12 Saladin (April)
CMD 13 Guderian (April)
CMD 14 Garibaldi (June)
CMD 15 Model (June)
CMD 16 Horation Nelson (July)
CMD 17 Bill Slim (July)
CMD 18 Eisenhower (August)
CMD 19 Lawrence of Arabia (August)
CMD 20 Orde Wingate (October)
CMD 21 George Washington (October)
A nice spread of titles there - personally I simply cannot wait until Orde Wingate arrives, and CMD 12 Saladin could be a gorgeous titles - I can just see the brilliant artwork it could have - as Peter Dennis is scheduled to illustrate it.

Go with Garibaldi! My great-great grandfather was a Redshirt and he fought in the Expedition of the Thousand.

Looking forward to Bill Slim and Eisenhower.
It will be interesting to see how this series will treat MacArthur whenever it gets around to him.

Washington is one of the most underrated generals in history. I don't think any other available man could have commanded the Continental Army, led it to victory and then avoided creating a military dictatorship. Certainly he produced better results long-term than Napoleon.

Please Mike, can we know the Campaign titles for next year?

Its great to see Peter Dennis illustrating medieval related titles. A great mix of command titles can’t wait for the Hannibal, Saladin and Lawrence of Arabia books.

In echoing support for laurent14; Mike when are we going to see the CAM titles for 2011? I do hope that RAID and COMMAND series has not taken all the resources away from the Campaign series.

I second the motion of Laurent 14 and Nick Brown. What about Campaign titles of 2011?

It's a bit eurocentric isn't it guys?
I'd like a book on Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, probably the least well known military genius in history, definitely up there there with Caesar and Napoleon.
And Belisarius too please, if I'm being greedy.

Fair point, it is a little eurocentric at the moment, but it is still early days for the series - over time the series will grow and expand, much like our other series. Unfortunately with a new series we need to start quite conservatively so that the bookshops take the books and we can get them in front of your noses! As time wears on we can cover less well known subjects (and venture away from the WW2 / US / UK focus)

Fair point Mike.
Thanks for replying.
