Looks liek the next book after Fallujah:

http://www.amazon.com/Classified-Specia ... 087&sr=1-1

I'm confused with the book description, is this supposed to be the "Contra!" book? Or does it cover special operations outside of Latin America as well?

Contra! has been replaced with the Special Operations book. It will cover Special Operations all over the world.

"From the US interventions in Grenada, Panama and Colombia, to domestic operations against cartels and revolutionary groups in Peru, Guatemala, Venezuela and Brazil.."

Well that would have been an interesting proposal. Leaving aside the distasteful aspect of the Brazilian dictatorship's operations against domestic revolutionary groups, I can, off hand, think of only a handful of books or references that deal with them and they're all in Portuguese. I rather doubt the creator of that blurb meant police operations against the ALN and MR-8, or even the army operations in the Araguaia, neither of which really could be descibed as military operations, at least ones worth gaming. I presume they mean some sort of generic Call of Duty/ Tropa de Elite inspired version of 'kill the drug gang' set in some community on one of Rio's morros.

Given the nature of the counter insurgency in Guatemala and El Salvador probably sensible to steer clear of those as well. I'm not sure many people fancy gaming the Atlacatl battalion at El Mozote.
