The Boot Campers have begun putting their models together and some of them have made some great progress.
All of the kits are either the plastic ones you'll be getting at launch or resin pieces made especially for the Boot Camp.
Choppers are Awesome, Hind All the way:)
Oh Yeah, i know these are not the Hinde……
go ben first up with the pictures
Glorious to see all that hardware.
I’m currently so jealous and sad I couldn’t make it over there.
I think the big question with those Hinds is gonna be: landing gear up (which looks cooler in flight) or landing gear down (which makes putting them on the ground to drop off infantry easier)?
I’m thinking gear down right now.
What would you guys say?
Landing gear down – gotta use all those sprue options! 🙂
I went all gear up. Some of my fellow Soviet Ground Attack Regiment commanders went with a mix of up and down, so they could do SPETZNAZ commandos operations, etc. Building with the gear down involves a few more parts, and you have to put the wing ordinance on first. As one fellow bootcamper found ( @stusidle ) – trying to squeeze the wing pods on AFTER attaching the extended landing gear is possible . . . but very tough.
Did Lloyd make that flag on the side of the building?
Lloyd made it on to the flag at least
Those helicopters look MASSIVE!
Really curious about the rules now.
One day the moons and planets will align and I’ll get to one of these, or the world will end.
Cool looking AH-64
Looks like alot of plastic kits what is good saves alot of money when building big armies and this game needs big armies
Why do I have the feeling that after watching this bootcamp I’ll be buying into Team Yankee??
So I’ve been pulled by a busy season of work and have only caught waves of info briefly on BoW about Team Yankee – where are the infantry?
We did get some for the Americans
That is a significantly sized salvo template. I wonder what that does to infantry platoons.
Surprisingly, not very much. I pinned a lot of teams, but only destroyed two.
A lot of that where due to the fact it did take you 3 goes to range in – as the guy who got the pieplate in the face I won’t complain about it; )
Those choppers are bigger than I was expecting! I love the scale of this game. I’d leave some infantry free from a squad Base to play skirmish games with 😛
Gotta say, Hinds are righteous.
So that’s what the templates look like nice
jealousy abound over here
I’d start with the helicopter first too…
The coppers look really good

Wow those choppers are big.
Always a super fun part of gaming is the miniature construction and these guys are no doubt happy little beavers!
Dat salvo template
Sigh, all those plastics waiting to be build.
Just makes me a tiny bit jealous……
makes you want to stick on a war dvd in the background and camo some tanks!
I’m sold:)
Those Cobras look the part
