Exclamation No love for a little brigade command? (SP3 scale)

Make no mistakes. I love both WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT. They are fantastic upgrades of the classic Steel Panthers and Steel Panthers II, which I think were some of the best PC games ever. The new ones make it very difficult for me to go back to similar boardgames like ASL/ATS and the current crop like Panzer/MBT, Combat Commander, Ghost Panzer, you name it...

But deep in my heart I have always been a platoon-scale wargamer. Panzerblitz/Panzer Leader, Panzer Grenadier, Command Decision, Fistful of TOWs... Meaning big, decisive brigade/divisional-scale battles (1 counter/mini = 1 platoon/battery), not simply battlegroup/battalion/company "skirmishes" with one counter/mini = 1 real life vehicle/squad.

Are there any plans to refloat old "SP III: Brigade Command" and recode it so that we pathetic old fart big battle junkies can send our brigades (divisions even!) in wide flanking maneouvers and crush our digital enemies like our real life ancestors did?

Thanks and sorry for the rant.
