You want fresh cold war armor on the table fast. This month, Checkpoint Charlie delivers, but with a twist. It is a digital-first launch, not a traditional hardback.
Consequently, everything from rules to list building lands online. As a longtime minis gremlin, I am here for the speed.
Checkpoint Charlie is a new expansion era for World War III. It arrives as a 153-page PDF from Battlefront Digital. Moreover, it plugs into Forces for list building on day one. Therefore, you can theorycraft and print lists without juggling card decks.
How You Get It And What Unlocks
Every new Starter Force includes a code for the full PDF. Additionally, that code unlocks the relevant nation on Forces for free. Cards and force building also go live on a dedicated site on October 24. Consequently, you can dive straight from unboxing to army builder.
Battlefront is staggering the Starter Force releases. First up is the M48 Patton Tank Company on October 25. Then the Centurion Territorial Armoured Squadron hits November 8. Next the Leopard 1 Panzerkompanie lands November 15. Finally the T-10M Heavy Tank Battalion arrives November 22. Meanwhile, the PDF itself becomes available October 24.
Why Digital And How Much It Costs
The book is not considered “complete” yet. However, going digital lets Battlefront add nations, weapons, and units quickly. Therefore, updates can drop without waiting for reprints. Pricing is friendly too. Normally it is 18.75 USD, but for two months it is 10 USD.
Summary
In short, Checkpoint Charlie launches as a living digital ruleset with free Forces integration. Consequently, your Starter Force code doubles as your rules key and builder unlock. Moreover, a tight release schedule keeps new toys flowing through November. If you like agile support and quick updates, this is your jam. Grab the PDF on October 24, then roll those Pattons, Centurions, Leopards, and T-10Ms onto the table.
