Team Yankee Battlefront Weekend
The Battlefront Team are going to be running through a whole host of awesome hobby content over the weekend to celebrate the release of Team Yankee.
If you're interested in the game and want to follow along with their progress over the weekend then we have a member of the Battlefront team who will be adding content to this Live Blog over the two days...
A lot of stores throughout the world are taking part in this weekend and you can find the links below which will get you some Objective Markers.

Will you be picking up Team Yankee and building/playing this weekend?
What's Coming For The US?
Leading the way we have Bannon's Boys in Team Yankee and we've picked out a selection of the additional sets you can also use to reinforce the US.
You can find more on their Product Preview page.
What's Coming For The Soviets?
As well as the US we need a foe so here are the Soviets under Potecknov's Bears for Team Yankee...
You can also go and check out some more of the Soviet models coming soon on their Product Page.
Why do I feel like Al Pacino in The Godfather – Part III?
“Just when I thought I was out … they PULL ME BACK IN!”
I’m banging the TY drum at my LFGS.
I haven’t touched my models since the boot camp. This has given me the perfect excuse to get some painting done.
Cool, there’s a store running demo games within reasonable distance from me. Might go this weekend if I don’t have too much housework to do.
Nothing remotely near me as always.
Bannon’s Boys (incl extra M1) arrived promptly at my doorstep 😎
Still waiting for the rulebook tho..
I’m also still undecided how to paint the tanks..MERDC, NATO or the historically accurate plain Forest Green..hmm..
I will follow this with great interest.
We (@Gri3elda and I) decided on the NATO tri-colour camo for her US force. It just looks better than the MERDC in our most humble opinion.
I did go mad and are trying to do the British Berlin brick on mine
It can be a really interesting weekend 🙂
This weekend just gets better and better 😀
Hmm, would realy have liked a one click starter set for this
6 Grachs. Good lord!
Both starter boxes inbound for Monday apparently plus rules plus a couple of A10s and Su25s for some extra support. Planning to get some demo games going in my area to build interest…. Actually doing a test 1 35 scale M1 in Merdc camo for a try out ATM…
Got Bannon’s boys up and running!! M1s are really nice and easy to complete. Great detail. Gonna do the MERDC camo for them. Putting together the Huey was a pain and the T-72s are late, though. Read thru the rule book and can’t wait to fire some dice!!
Same here. The store I went to in California only had the Bannon’s Boys and rulebook this weekend. Soviets expected later and they will do demo games next weekend.
By the way, why include the option to build the A1 variant of the Abrams? Are they foreshadowing a definite expansion or simply laying groundwork for a hazy possibility for the kit?
Also I hope there will be West German and British forces available after the first wave. I want to field some Panther 2s.
I got to get me this stuff
Not to be a Debbie Downer but I will be able to pick up my Americans on Tuesday. 🙁 My shop is low on the list of order preference. Gonna watch the heck out of this and get my paints all lined up and then wait.
Got the American box and book, too bad no Soviets yet. I was very happy to see the extra Abrams in the Bannon box. Models are great, easy fit and clean. Can’t wait to play some everyone’s Soviets show up. Our game store had a play mat printed to look like a paved road and buildings, anyone know if that is going to be available for sale?
