Great news, Chewie! Thanks for spotting it.

I eagerly await the telling of my father's war as told similar to Band Of Brothers.

Their are rumors that the characters will be much more diverse than before, and therefore we'll probably see main characters that are Latino, Irish, British, African American, etc.
where will they be setting this then, the philippines, Burma, etc.

I hope so too, Aussie.

I thought some of the original Band of Brothers episodes were a bit dodgy. eg Carentan.
