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.  Battlefront 2021 Preview

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.
