Ma cosa ci aspetta nel 2013? Chi segue Battlefront sa che le notizie sui progetti futuri sono volutamente poche e spesso sparse nel forum.
Iniziamo con una frase apparsa poco prima della pubblicazione di CMFI: "In the next year I would
expect to see another 3 Base Games and probably 3 Modules". Sì in effetti più volte è stato ribadito che il motore di gioco è piuttosto maturo e che lo sviluppo ora procede molto più velocemente.
Due dei giochi base che con ogni probabilità saranno pubblicati sono CM: Eastern Front 1 e CM: Shock Force 2; ecco uno stralcio dal forum:
"2. CM: Eastern Front 1. The first of four Eastern Front "families" starts with Operation Bagration (June 1944) and eventually covers through to the end of the war (May 1945). For many tactical warfare enthusiasts, this period is considered the most tactically interesting since both sides were at their peak of their military technology, organization, and experience. The scope and scale of the combat offers plenty of subject matter to explore.
3. CM: Shock Force 2. Our return to modern warfare is long overdue! Given how close Shock Force 1 was at predicting a conventional conflict in Syria, we're a little nervous about choosing a topic this time around. Especially because we've chosen to simulate a full spectrum conventional conflict between NATO and Russia in the Ukraine. This gives players a rich tactical environment to explore with the most advanced militaries the world has ever seen. Having said that, we hope the politicians aren't insane enough to try it for real. Even thought this is great stuff for a game, it's the last thing this world needs in real life."

Più difficile individuare il terzo gioco base in sviluppo, gli unici ad essere stati menzionati sono l'Offensiva delle Ardenne fino alla fine della guerra (che non sarà come qualcuno pensava compresa in CMBN) oppure per il fronte orientale le altre possibilità: Kursk (Summer 1943 - Spring 1944), Case Blue (Summer 1942 - Spring 1943) e Barbarossa (Summer 1941 - Spring 1942).
