Battlefront 2021 Preview

Battlefront 2021 Preview

I think we can all agree, 2020 can’t leave soon enough.  It’s been a challenging year, offices and factories have been closed for long periods of time, the freight infrastructure you usually take for granted disrupted beyond recognition leading to delays.  It’s been a year of great uncertainty. We’d like to thank all of our community who have been patient with us throughout this time, and for your incredible, continued support to help us through. Thank you also to everyone who participated in sharing your hobby with us over lockdown, it was fantastic to see the creativity and talent of everyone who sent us images.

Despite these challenges, Battlefront still managed to launch a number of exciting products in 2020. Great releases with the conclusion of the D-Day series (SS & British), launch of the Bagration (Soviets) and of course the Americans, British and Soviets for WWIII, and last but definitely not least Battlefront’s Art Of War book, collating many of the epic images that have been used over the last 20 years.

For Gale Force Nine, an expansion to Dune the Boardgame, in the form of 2 new factions, Ixians & Teilaxu,  2 BIG boardgames, World of Tanks: Miniatures Game, and Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps, in market in time for Christmas.

I think we’ve all had enough of 2020, so let’s look forward to 2021, hopefully a better year for all of us!  2021 kicks off with a bang launching live on 25th January with Bagration German for Flames Of War.  This includes Pete’s personal favourite, the Panzer IV/70, plastic Hetzer, Marder, and the first of our plastic German anti aircraft the Ostwind Wirbelwind kit.

Following in March is the release of the West German book for WWIII Team Yankee, bringing us new infantry options, the Leopard 2A5 & Marder 2 in plastic, alongside... You asked for it... the Wiesel in resin.

WWIII: West German

April brings the next instalment of Bagration: Axis Allies, giving us the Fins, Hungarians and Romanians, and plastic Zyrini.  This will also be followed by the mid war books for those 3 nations as well. Bagration Axis Allies

Bagration: Axis Allies

June takes us back to World War III with the release of the Warsaw Pact book, consolidating East Germans, Poles and Czechoslovakians into one book, alongside new models.

Back then to WWII and The Bulge!  Bringing in the second half of the year July through November, 3 new books detailing American, German and finally British.  With these we will finally get the plastic Easy Eight, the Jumbo, Hellcat, Chafee, King Tigers, Jagdtigers, Comets & Sextons, and much much more.  A LOT coming out in this second half of the year.  This will be the last book for the British, covering their forces through to the end of the war.

Flames Of War: Bulge

At the end of the year, December, something VERY special… Wolverines! In 2021, Battlefront is going to focus more on supporting the community who have supported us so greatly this year. We have a new events pack coming out to assist in tournament organisation, new community involvement, and expansion of our live launches, and other opportunities! Outside of 15mm, the board game slate is also full of exciting releases!  If Blood and Treachery are your thing, Spartacus and a new Dune expansion are slated for the beginning of the year, MORE tanks for World of Tanks: Miniatures game and many many more exciting projects that we can’t talk about yet... From all of us, to all of  you, we’d like to wish you a very merry Christmas, have a lot of fun, stay safe, take care and we’ll see you on the other side in 2021!
