I know that Osprey has it's own forum for discussing these sorts of things but they changed it a couple years ago so you have to pay to post and I'm quite technologically challenged and the new forum is hard to navigate through. I used to be a poster there in 2012-2014 and would often pitch out ideas for books in their Campaign series which is my favorite of all their series. I am aware users on here have discussed their books and probably a good amount own some, and in fact some people on that forum probably also have accounts here on TMP. I want to pitch out ideas for books I have wanted them to do for years and spread them beyond just Osprey. Please note I suggested all of these at one point or another years ago and I am just curious to see if these titles interest anyone since Osprey may look beyond their website for ideas for future publications. This list is quite long but IMHO these titles are seriously in need of treatment from Osprey both for their importance or the fact that nothing else has been written on them. Osprey has done books in their CAM series that was the first time a battle or campaign got a book of it's own such as the battle of the Wabash in 1791. So here it goes.

I forgot to add Koniggratz 1866 to this list. One of the biggest battles in European history and 19th cent, and one of the most important. Like I said, this list is a doozer.

Der Alte Fritz, Minden would be a big gap filled, but my area of interest is SYW Frederick the Great battles and the FIW. I'm not interested in seeing it which is why I don't have it on my list.

I'm good with the entire list except for the last one. I have zero interest in anything after the 1950s.
