ASSAULT PACKS
What: Small expansions for OGRE Designer's Edition containing new scenarios, new rules, new unit counters, and terrain overlays. Information on these is restricted to Kickstarter backers only, so I don't have much. The ones I know of are:
Black Mamba Down (perhaps includes Ranger counters from the assault pack preview)
Operation Rubicon (reportedly includes "Troll" unit and self-propelled gun)
Rise of the Golem (maybe referring to Israeli cybertanks?)
Storm Dragon (anyone have any idea?)
When: Not scheduled
How much: Unknown
DESIGNER'S EDITION EXPANSION
What: Large expansion to ODE promised as part of the Kickstarter campaign. Will have two new map (G-3 and S-3), one counter sheet (including one new 3-D unit--probably the Ninja), and scenarios.
When: They say late 2016
How much: Under $65
NEW OGRE SET
What: Standalone game in Designer's Edition scale with only the oriingal OGRE map and rules, with counters in new colors. Will include at least one new scenario, GEV Screen.
When: They say summer or fall of 2016
How much: Trying for $49.95
POCKET GEV (speculative)
What: Pocket sized edition of the sequel to compliment Pocket Ogre. No telling if this will actually be produced, but I have some suggestions on the counter mix.
When: Not scheduled
How much: Probably around $10 or $11
Anybody else excited about these new products? I plan on buying the expansions, but probably not the new OGRE box.
If you have any more information on any of these--especially the Assault Packs--please let me know.

Like you I keep an eye on what's supposed to be coming out.
You know SJG really could have gone plastic for the miniatures - DP9 shows it can be done, and it would have resulted in a smaller lighter ODE.
While plastic minis would have been nice, I think ODE works fine with the counters, and transport is a lot more simple. These days, I only use the minis on my huge hex map with 3-D terrain.
