Napoleonic Era (Nations At War)
The Nations At War factions cover the great powers and regional contenders of the Coalition Wars. Expect black powder volleys, officers shouting over smoke, cavalry on the flanks, and a lot of flags being carried into very bad places.
The British Empire
A leading Coalition power with a strong naval identity and a long reach across land and sea. In Holdfast, Britain is tied closely to line infantry, rocketry, naval play, and morale support such as Bagpipers.
The French Empire
Napoleon's continental powerhouse and the faction at the heart of the period. France is present across land, naval, and coastal battles, with a broad roster and iconic cavalry such as the Cuirassier.
The Kingdom of Prussia
A disciplined military state shaped by defeat, reform, and renewed war against France. Prussia brings a grounded Napoleonic roster focused on clean infantry play and battlefield order.
The Russian Empire
The great eastern power of the Napoleonic Wars, remembered for depth, endurance, and the long road to 1812. Russian troops often carry swords as sidearms, giving them a distinct feel in close combat.
The Kingdom of Italy
A Napoleonic client kingdom tied closely to France and the wider imperial project. Italy fills out the era with a regional identity and a familiar black powder battlefield role.
The Austrian Empire
A major Habsburg power and repeated opponent of revolutionary and imperial France. Austria brings another central European force to the line, with the weight of old empire behind it.
Frontlines Era (World War I)
Frontlines shifts the battlefield into the industrial age. The lines are broken up, rifles fire faster, machine guns dominate lanes, and forward positions matter more than parade-ground neatness.
The Allied Powers
A coalition drawing from nations such as Britain, France, Australia, and the United States. The faction reflects the broader Allied war effort, with some class identities tied to specific national forces.
The Central Powers
Represented through German infantry forces in Frontlines. The faction brings the opposing side of the Great War to Holdfast, with uniforms, weapons, and battlefield roles built around the era's industrial combat.
