	Holdfast is built around large battles across multiple eras. ~~The factions~~ give those battles their identity, from smoke-filled Napoleonic lines to the trenches of the Great War.		Holdfast is built around large battles across multiple eras. Factions give those battles their identity, from smoke-filled Napoleonic lines to the trenches of the Great War.

	In '''Nations At War''', players fight as historical powers using muskets, bayonets, sabres, cannons, cavalry, rockets, and sailing ships. In '''Frontlines WW1''', the fight shifts to rifles, machine guns, artillery, trenches, and more modern battlefield roles.		In '''Nations At War''', players fight as historical powers using muskets, bayonets, sabres, cannons, cavalry, rockets, and sailing ships.

	~~The official Holdfast site describes the game as a battle across eras~~, ~~with~~ line ~~volleys in the Napoleonic Wars, WW1 charges at the officer's whistle~~, naval ~~warfare from the age of sail~~, and ~~dreadnought bombardments at Gallipoli. This page keeps~~ the ~~focus on the playable factions and how they fit into that wider battlefield~~.		Each faction brings its own uniforms, flags, voice lines, and battlefield style. Some appear in formal line battles, some fit naval and coastal fighting, and others belong to the harsher pace of Frontlines WW1.
