First of all, thanks for the feedback.

What you say makes perfect sense...

If I have picked up all the nods, winks and hints correctly then Maddox Games will then move onto the Med/Africa theatre.
The Battle for Moscow is being developed by a third party (with some help from the Maddox team) and should be released shortly after BoB.
Project Galba (Korea) is currently on hold as that team are assisting in BoB.
The problem is that we have to rely on a hint here or a nod there for much of this information, so it is no surprise that people will come to different conclusions.
I'm not saying I am right and Blackdog is wrong, but just that I have came to a different conclusion as to what is happening with the limited information that is available.
It would be nice if we could get some official clarification.

...and you say is also a very plausible direction that things could go.
The only reason i'm drawing different conclusions is the involvement of mr Denikin (mentioned by the boss no less), who is the lead systems modelling designer for SoW. After all this time we do know that systems modelling is going to a big aspect of the new simulator engine, which leads me to believe that this guy is one of the top assets of the team.
The way it clicked in my head was "why would one of their top guys be involved if it wasn't their project?", but of course you are both right in your observations as well. Who knows, maybe the guy is on "loan" to a different studio, developing the functions specific to the Moscow add on. Also, let's not forget the importance such a scenario will have for 1c's customers in their home market
