Last I know, Scott is still working on his expanded 1815 Campaign series of 5 volumes as well as Empire 7. I believe he is currently on volume 3 of the series and still working as well on Empire 7. It is my understanding Scott intends to release them at the same time. |

I found this update on Scott Bowden's Facebook page…
First, the books. There are three very sizable projects. These are—-1) Napoleon The Hundred Days Epoch:The Emperor, His Return and the 1815 French Armies…in five volumes…co-authored with Peter Cross who lives near Brisbane. First three volumes are written and production begun for releases projected to take place in late 2025. Website currently under construction. It's a massive project with lavish color, maps, original commissions of art, and much more. It contains the most detailed account of Murat's 1815 campaign every to appear in English—and details will emerge relatively soon.
—-2) Robert E. Lee at War: The Mind and Method of a Great American Soldier. Another series in five volumes of which the first two are available. Lavish illustrations and maps. Color on every page.However, because of the change of publisher, the series is being reconfigured and the first three or four volumes will be released simultaneously. Hope these are out in 2026, but we'll see.
—-3 Armies at Waterloo: Greatly Expanded Edition (not title, but you get the idea)… projected to be co-authored with Peter Cross. Going to include a lot of archival material omitted from the original (space issues in the 1983 version). New maps, much new information (really) and a lot of new and original analysis. Looking at 2027 release to follow on the heels of the Hundred Days Epoch fifth volume that is entirely devoted to the Imperial Guard and the Armče du Nord. Should be exciting.
Then , in addition to the books, I have been writing and developing EMPIRE 7 for a long time. Intend on having an extensive section on website about the new edition that includes multiple scales (1:120…1:60…1:30…1:20…and 1:10), etc.
If plans go accordingly, there will be play testing in Australia when I visit. Don't know yet when that will happen, but I have begun preliminary planning.
