There aren't a lot of genres "empty" of a good rules set. Some still exist, but there are some pretty good quality options out there for most periods.

Weell there is nothing new under the sun, but I find that the quick, easy Osprey wargames series is a great intro to almost any period/setting.

I was thinking a sci-fi/colonial game ala Martian Empires this morning.

I'd quite like to see a sub-squad level WW2 skirmish game. Maybe 10 mini's a side with lots of separate roles, possibly with a mode allowing them to be matched up with a much stronger force (like a few squads or a vehicle) that is all about stealth/cover/positioning than anything else.

Kinda like a bigger version of that Execution Force game, but good.


Something a lot closer to Inglorious B*****s, or the Call of Duty / Battlefield style games.

A new board game, V-Commandos sounds like it may be something you would be interested in.

Sounds like mashing up the games "Operation: Squad" and "Black Ops".

Crimean or Franco-Prussian war would be kind of cool to see something for.

Oh, and a Zombie game. Not just because virtually everyone else has published a zombie game, but because it'd be pretty straightforward to base it on The Men Who Would Be Kings.

Osprey is publishing Ash Barker's zombie rules system. I think.

I'd like a 6mm Sci-fi Battle game rather than a Mech skirmish game
Micro scale game systems rather than skirmishes.
Science Fiction and Fantasy battle games as well. (Dragon Rampant is a Warband system)
