Christmas 2024 Battlefront Update

[@jonnypariah1]

Always look forward to these :) YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR EARLY WAR ... sorry, all caps excitement there ...

[@paintingpanzers]

Excellent stuff 🎉 what a great teaser of what's to come. Pacific is where it's at for me though 😅 ... subtle hint 😉 Have a lovely Christmas and New Year everyone!

Vraiment super, surtout pour la sortie des blindés français et l'infanterie ! Merci pour cette annonce et bonnes fêtes de fin d'année !

Merry Christmas, Battlefront! So excited for Early War and thrilled to see the Char 2C

[@scaredchalk]

Hope Barbarossa has Polish. Excited to play my Japanese again

[@jacobalvarez9762]

Absolutely love battle front and GF9 can’t wait! It’s why I keep coming back!

Merry Christmas to the Batlefront family.

Early war has always been my favorite FOW period, September is going to be great!

[@carlyshawnwatts4003]

I Am So Excited about EARLY WAR!!!!!!

[@Chrisbo123]

Great Work for 24; cant wait for the stuff in 25!

[@misterballista]

Always enjoy these videos with Pete, they definitely keep Battlefront looking human as opposed to a certain big corporate miniatures company we're all familiar with! All the reveals look great, hard plastic early war infantry looks terrific, and I'm definitely looking forward to Barbarossa even though it's not scheduled till 2026. One thing that's missing though - you've mentioned before a new starter box, Fortress Europa, to replace Hit the Beach, it'd be nice to know what's planned to go in that.

[@brookstoner8209]

I am looking forward to the Pacific!

[@pterri8107]

Thank you Peter! im excited for next years releases!

[@matthewsmall8009]

Really psyched for the return of early war

[@twocubez7848]

Good lineup to look forward to. What I’m hoping for in 2026-2027 is that Clash of Steel can evolve further with combined arms offshoot. It’d be great to finally see an official “Checkpoint Charlie” release after years of rumors!

[@DarkHanon]

Thank you for this preview! Pacific and Early War makes me really excited right now - please 38(t)s in plastic 🙏

[@michaellee9975]

Hope there are motorcycle troops for EW.

[@LackofForesightGaming]

Happy holidays! Sad still no Italy announcement, but lots of good stuff here!

[@chrislane3690]

Wasn’t Battlaxe mentioned?

[@durnaxe8708]

I'm really liking that you are all putting dice and tokens in the box sets. That's awesome! Sad no news on Checkpoint Charlie (reset the clock!) or anything past the IDF for Team Yankee, a lot of us would like to see the eastern theatre (JSDF, China, the Koreas) but early war probably has your hands full.

[@steffenseitter4791]

Was hoping for Checkpoint Charlie too!

[@travisbennett7111]

Really looking forward to the Pacific - and will probably get into Early War too - missed them both last time! Have a Merry Christmas and keep up the good work!

[@B89Stenlund]

Merry Christmas ☃️ Looks like it will be a good year for fow

[@Based_Lord_Humongous]

First. Lots of nice stuff coming!!!

[@chrisevans6201]

Got to admit while I applaud the new releases for Flames, I am quite disappointed by the only one release for Team Yankee. It feels like this game has been sidelined, I thought it was a joint flagship game with Flames? Given the other operational theatres that could be expanded into, there is nothing. The game is stagnating, especially when you cannot get the kit for the existing armies. I could go on but I don't think it'll do any good. Happy Christmas.

[@tomdudley5314]

Great content and models coming, great stuff there BF!

[@patrickbenjamin9056]

Very cool lineup. Thank you for the preview.

[@aaronjones2117]

Definitely looking forward to the Pacific war miniatures. Missed opportunity for the 80th anniversary of the greatest victory in British Army history, but would love a Kohima army box

[@mikoajbienkowski2305]

Happy to see Early war. But I wonder, will we get option to use all those french tanks in Late War? With lists for beutepanzers companies maybe?

[@matttheyak]

Can't see a flame thrower option on the Char sprue shown... might be missing it

[@robvillnave3178]

Can’t wait for the updated Japanese! I found an old metal IJA company box for a steal and having a blast painting them.

[@Don-kh3ll]

Very excited about early war and it's great that we now know when early desert and eastern front are coming too.

[@certifiedidiot9625]

I’ve never been super interested in Early War, but those French tanks are really tempting me! I’m looking forward to everything next year, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@victordenbak]

So many awesome releases in 2025! I like that the books unlock all associated force builders.

Any hopes for soviet t35, t28, bt7 or t26 in plastic? What about plastic bikes with sidecars or horses and tchankas?

[@Ralai14]

Also zis30, su57 and 85mm AA gun.

[@steffenseitter4791]

I'm sure we will see those Tanks with the Barbarossa-Book.

[@steffenseitter4791]

Would be funny when the new Bagration Book includes that old german Lists with Italian Beutepanzers :D

[@johndepalma3795]

Wow early war, very cool. Super excited about mid war Pacific. Looking forward to playing as Japanese

[@the2.0squad95]

Early War, you guys can come out of the shadows, the time is here!

[@canadiandrumer]

Seems like the release schedule is mostly predicated on releasing new models (yes I know that is their job). Whereas dynamic points for LW would help you sell more models without having to really do anything other than playtest and publish a PDF

[@robertlaplante8812]

I hope that they will restock the Battlefield of the Box range! I look forward to the early wars for FOW!

[@phantomvmfa122]

Merry Christmas to you too guys.

[@NYHCx845]

Can't wait for THE PACIFIC. I love my Marines but the British & Australian look great

[@steffenseitter4791]

In the Pacific 42/43 Book, why do the Marines have Shermans (witch they had 1944+), but the Army does not (which had them in 1943+), also the Army is missing the Lee, which was used on the Maki Atoll in 1943 (the only use of US Lees in the Pacific Theatre). Those Valentines in the British AOP must be NZ. What happended to the LVTs?

[@steffenseitter4791]

Fate of a Nation re-release anyone?

[@matthewwilkinson4781]

Really excited for early war!

[@collin4592]

I am really excited for the Early War and Pacific! I am not a fan of the rules, but I like the models. Hopefully the Norwegians get some infantry for early war, and the South Africans get some plastics for Team Yankee.

[@M1sterP1nk]

Thank you. Looks like an interessting bew year. Think ai revisit EW with some French. Only thing I miss is Checkpoint Charlie? What about Early-Cold-War other then Clash of Steel?

[@twocubez7848]

Looks like it’s not in the cards for next year. Clash of Steel seems interesting, but it still just feels like World of Tanks with extra backstory to me. What I’m hoping for is that Checkpoint Charlie would be a separate offshoot of CoS, adding infantry, artillery, air support, etc. and new scenarios while nixing the fake superheavies from the army lists. Maybe it could be their next focus after the big Pacfic War & Early War releases happen?

[@maephiharuna]

Just got Bagration: Germany yesterday. Is this book a compilation of all the Bagration books or is it new stuff that will invalidate my old book?

[@GraysunsWar]

just new additions, your old book will still be okay

[@Kubbbbek]

No Poland for Early War?

[@danitenotes]

It might be in the 2026 Barbarossa book because the years started in 1939 on the slide.

[@matttheyak]

@@danitenotes If the book had been named "Eastern Front" instead of "Barbarossa" it really would have prevented much of this early angst. I imagine Barbarossa was judged to be a better 'project marketing' name. Or, if they'd just provided a little more clarity for people in the preview, I can't see how it would have hurt. I suspect/hope the book will have the Poles and content from the old Rising Sun book, Fins and maybe Japanese, seeing as they are releasing alot of that anyway for MW as well.

[@TSD4027]

Definitely going to need some Panzer Is. Also going to need very early war Panzer III and IV variants.

[@jcflocken70]

I like World War III; Team Yankee. However, my friends and I find it to be very restrictive, just like Flames of War. Almost every game is Soviet Union vs. an Allied Nato power. So we modified the game to be World War III Nuclear Armageddon Warlords Rising. The war goes nuclear, and the world governments are destroyed. It's a return to the Dark Ages as warlords lead their warbands into battle against neighboring territories. Many warbands rise up around former military installations, and with scarce resources, they set forth seeking glory. It's a free for all fight as allies become enemies. Americans at bases in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia find themselves cutoff and without resupply. A second Civil War erupts all across the United States as territorial boundaries are redrawn on new maps. Russians fight Germans. Germans fight French, French fight British, British fight the new Vikings of Scandinavia. The Vatican creates a new Holy Roman Imperial army led by Warrior Priests and Nuns with guns to combat the growing plague ridden mutant population. It is a lot more fun.

[@matttheyak]

I think most gaming groups already play blue vs blue team and red vs red team very often?

Really looking forward to the new IDF book. Also I do hope there will be a plastic Pz 38(T) kit for early war and a Matilda II, otherwise that looks great too.
