As yet another year draws to a close, it's time to send our thanks out to all of you for keeping us around for so long. Next year will mark 20 years since Battlefront was created (on paper) and 17 years since going public. It's been a wild ride, to say the least 
And to prove it's not over, you might want to check the Battlefront Store's various Combat Mission sections for Upgrade 4. Our elves were hard at work getting them ready for you ahead of the Holidays. They're a good bunch of lads, that's for sure!
We had planned on getting the Upgrades out sooner, however trying to handle 5 Base games and 5 separate Upgrades all at once proved to be a lot more challenging than we anticipated. Live and learn, right? A complicating factor is we had to rewire our store to handle the complexities of all the new products and our new way of selling products. Here's the benefits of the new system:
- we've improved cross platform licensing support. This includes links to both Windows and MacOS versions when you go to download.
- all Combat Mission Families now use the CMBN "one installer" concept which makes managing additional products much easier.
- as a result many of the Modules/Packs don't have downloads any more, just license keys. This will come into play more in 2017 as we release additional additional product for CMFI, CMBS, CMRT, and CMFB
- the ability to offer a massive 5 CM Family Upgrade 4 Bundle at a significant discount. With this you can have "one key to rule them all" instead of 5 individual Upgrade 4 keys to lose track of. We weren't sure the site infrastructure could handle the complex licensing issues, but it does!
- If you want a physical copy you can have it, but you now also get the download option with your purchase for $5 instead of the old $10. The $5 difference goes towards the increased costs of physical goods as the number of people interested in them continues to decline.
- CMBN Big Bundle now includes both Modules and both Packs. One stop shopping is always a good thing!
Those of you who are good at math will notice we've increased our pricing of the Base Games by $5. This is the first price increase we've done in about 10 years. Go to Google and look for an inflation calculator if you're wondering why we did this 
In fact, if you put in $55 for 2007 you might wonder why we didn't increase our prices earlier or higher than just $5. The reason is we've kept in mind that a lot of you purchase many things from us over time and keeping pricing down helps everybody. With that in mind we kept the serious discounts on Bundles and didn't increase the prices on any of the Modules, Packs, or Upgrades. We feel that's a fair approach, we hope you do as well.
Thanks again for all your support over these many years! Enjoy the new stuff!
