[h2]A Labor of Love[/h2] This year was a big year for Holdfast starting with the release of Frontlines, the free World War 1 expansion for the game, which instantly broke our concurrent player count records. The Linebattle 2.0 major update also introduced many long requested features and player customisation and progression, the Anvil Game Studios team more than doubled in size and even Fred returned again to cause havoc on Halloween.
