What is Homefront: Early War?

Homefront: Early War brings 24 brand-new cards themed around the opening stages of World War 2 - when fronts formed fast, lines shifted, and every mile mattered.

Homefront: Early War is a reinforcement mini-set for Homefront - a compact release that expands the set’s themes and introduces new cards to explore in deckbuilding. Many of the new designs highlight early-war tactics across the nations, opening up new lines of play and fresh ways to approach established archetypes.

Part of the Homefront Set

As the name suggests, Homefront: Early War cards are part of the Homefront set.

That means:

When Homefront: Early War launches, its cards will be added to the Homefront card pool.
From that point onward, the new cards can be found in Homefront packs.
The mini-set cards can also be purchased for a limited time in special shop bundles.

24 New Cards

Homefront: Early War delivers new options across the frontlines:

Major nations (20 cards): Britain, Germany, USA, Soviet Union, Japan - 4 cards each
Ally Nations (4 cards): France, Finland, Italy, Poland - 1 card each

Balance Changes

Homefront: Early War also ships with a small balance update to help shake up the meta. Full details will be shared in a dedicated post closer to launch.

No Rotation This Release

In the 2026 roadmap update shared in January, we outlined a shift toward a once-per-year rotation based on expansions (sets).

Homefront: Early War is the first step in this updated approach. With this release, no cards move into the Reserve pool - there is no rotation on March 10th.

More details on the updated rotation plan will follow after the launch of Homefront: Early War.

Pre-Orders Available Now

Pre-order bundles are now available in the in-game Shop, letting you secure specific Homefront: Early War cards ahead of release.

When the mini-set launches on March 10th, your bundle’s cards will be delivered to your Collection automatically. Available for a limited time - grab yours before launch.
