Anybody know if there are any plans for an expansion to add the British units to the Bulge winter battles?
CM Final Blitzkrieg - British Units?

Good question, perhaps you'd be better off posting that question in the BF forums.

Would make sense for the Brits to arrive in the next module, Feb-May 1945, right in time for Operation Veritable
They did get involved in the fighting to push the Germans out of the Bulge in January 1945 ... also, in my Bulge campaig concept, if the German attack goes well and reaches the Meuse, they would fight British units there...
I was pondering about that myself, the boundary between the American and British armies was the Meuse river, I guess American units will have to do until then.

You're right, Rico, but I'm guessing they have to leave something big for the Feb-May module, since we already have Heer, LW and Waffen SS for the Germans. Plenty of nice British campaign ideas possible once we have them, including the Meuse area in the Bulge

I'm hoping we get some new terrain for all the Scheldt battles and maybe Buffalos

@Elltee buffalos would be great. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of new vehicles in FB. It would have been nice to see things like the American 90mm AA which was used in an AT role in the Battle of the Bulge, schwimmwagen, more trucks, and perhaps a few more 'on-map' artillery pieces. Maybe in a future release
From a marketing/stickiness with significant user-base/sales perspective, adding British (Commonwealth?) forces in the next module is a no-brainer.
Not to mention that they were there, and I'd love to see some of the Scheldt Estuary events included.

Gnarly beat me to it.
- Scheldt Estuary
- Holding 'the island'
- British at the Bulge
All the above are within the existing timeframe. My hazy memory seems to recall that CMFB was planned to have two modules, one to add the Commonwealth involvement within the existing timeframe of the base game and a second to extend the timeline to the end of the war and cover the spring offensive across the Rhine.

The second part was certainly indicated here:

But the Commonwealth involvement I think was mostly (logical?) conjecture by the BF community, rather than anything explicit from BF itself. From the same thread above:
Ahh, here we go, an entire discussion around Commonwealth Forces module for CM: FB, but none official.

The closest to BF comment I can see is MikeyD (a prominent tester, but you likely know more than I about his status):
