Team Yankee Tanks, Choppers & More Released This Month
January 18, 2018 by brennon
Battlefront has some Mid-January releases for you to get stuck into as they show off some new tanks and more for the Team Yankee range.
Leading the way we have the M60 Patton Tank Platoon here which gives you five new models for you to play around with. Whilst those are cool, I think the real winner of this dose of releases is the helicopters!
Who wouldn't want to make the 'chugga-chugga' sound of Huey Helicopters thudding their way through the skies as they cover your advancing infantry forces?
There is also another set of ground assets for you to consider as well with the addition of the HMMWV Platoon into the mix as well. They are great for moving your troops around but also supporting both air and land units with cover using their mounted launchers.
There's plenty more coming towards the end of January and you'll want to be on the lookout for a new book as well too.

When it comes to terrain for Team Yankee, you're quite well served already by Battlefront but this new Department Store gives you a bigger complex to fight over.
It comes in multiple segments allowing you to fight up through the different floors and also has the rooftop space which allows you to fire down onto whatever is clogging up the streets.
What do you think of their newest releases?

I’m not involved in the game , but I would sure like to get those Choppers and use them in a treetop level jungle diorama , maybe a scene out of Platoon or better yet Predator , Can you get passenger figures for them in this scale ?
For Platoon themed diorama you might want to check out they Vietnam models.
love the models but didn’t the hummers come out at a later time?
The Humvees entered service later than the other vehicles in this release (1984). I assume Team Yankee is set in 1985 or 1986, which would be the sweet spot where the Hueys would still be in use.
Are we going to be able to just get the new cards? If you picked up the Ryan box set or have other units you don’t have the cards for the stripes book.
Those models are very nice and I really like that building.
