Yeah they’ve not tended to go back and add in new ranges it’s all about the ‘big’ new releases. So no Napoleonic Russians or Austrians etc yet. 1066 is also vaguely an anniversary next year… but who knows?

Who knows what’s next? Macedonians would be useful, but I reckon they might go 1066…? Something where the sides are fairly interchangeable and they’d only need 3 sprues to do the main armies in the campaign.
