Blitzkrieg season is officially kicking off, and it feels like Battlefront is trying to keep the hype rolling week by week.
Also, the big headline is simple: the book and starter sets are up for pre order right now. Meanwhile, the rest of the range is queued behind them in a steady drip feed. So, if you like planning armies like a campaign map, this schedule is your new best friend.
Pre Order Is Live Right Now
This is a summary of an existing announcement, and the main point is that Blitzkrieg is available to pre order now through the Battlefront Group website shop. Also, they make it clear more items will follow over the next few weeks. So, you can lock in the core book and starters first, then backfill the support kits as they land.
February Is All About British Plastics
First, 21st February brings the British Rifle Company Starter Force, plus Unit and Command Card Packs. Additionally, plastic A13 and Vickers Light Mk VI tank platoons arrive the same day, which is a nice early armour kick. Then, 28th February expands the British line with plastic Infantry, and it also adds various guns and tanks. So, February is basically “get the Brits on the table fast.”
March Swings Hard Into France
Next, 7th March is the French Char B Company Starter Force, alongside Unit and Command Card Packs. Also, it includes French plastic Infantry and a selection of guns, so it is more than just heavy tanks. Then, 21st March adds French plastic Somua tanks plus other vehicles, which should really round out mobile lists. Finally, 28th March keeps the French momentum going with more tanks, including plastic Char B and Hotchkiss, plus artillery and anti tank platoons.
Summary
Overall, Blitzkrieg pre orders are live now, while the rollout staggers through late February and March with a heavy British start, then a big French wave, and then April is when the Germans finally show up, so you can pace your hobby budget and build toward a full Early War meta instead of panic buying everything at once.
