Some Of The Finished Vehicles!
We've been working hard here and some of the vehicles have already come together nicely. You can see the work that's going into making a lot of tanks, helicopters and more...
What is your favourite vehicle from the range so far?
Hard At Work
The work continues with a lot of the Boot Campers working on their massive amount of tanks and choppers they have. It's like a proper Soviet factory in here...
Which side would you have picked; Soviets or US?
Tale Of Four Gamers (US) Part One - Why Did You Pick Your Faction?
We're here with both buggeroff and redshane from the Boot Camp to talk with them about why they chose the US are their faction of choice this weekend...
Tale Of Four Gamers (Soviet) Part One - Why Did You Pick Your Faction?
Now we're moving on to chat with oriskany and brucelea about their Soviets! They have picked a faction packed with awesome HINDs and more...
Tale Of Four Gamers (US) How Is The Build Going?
We're back with buggeroff and redshane to talk about the progress they have been making on their US models for use in Team Yankee.
Which of the Team Yankee models are you going to be building first?
Team Yankee Boot Camp Kit Chat #1
We're going to be giving you a bit more information about the history behind Team Yankee and in particular the kit that the Soviets were wearing at the time.
Gianna is joined by Lewis and oriskany to have a quick chat...
Looks great! Loving the terrain.
I really like the M577 objective marker.
Yes! “Team Yankee Boot Camp Terrain Chat” gave some good ideas to work from. Keep it up, guys!
So, Ben is a live person with a normal sized skull? Not just a huge talking head?
You guys should have made up a map of the Defense of River House with the Soviets rolling across that bridge in the intro background bent on bringing Russian games to the decadent Western gamers.
Really looking forward to viewing this through the fish bowl that is the internet… Have been tempted with FoW but this I think maybe a must buy… Safe journey to those who are still travelling. Have a fab day folks :o)
looking forward to those helicopter unboxings but i feel the Russians will win many campaigns if no the war
This looks like a great and fun, “what if” military mini game. Would love to get in this one.
Awesome!!
Really looking forward to this weekends videos… really want to know more if I`m going to get into my first 15mm game…. Nice to hear about the rulebook flix though too… keep rocking
Holy sh1t lads! This one is looking absolutely legendary. Looks like the BoW Crew is at full strength and boy have you got some big hitters coming over for this one. Really p1ssed off I couldn’t make this one and green with envy of the folks who did. One suggestion. As Lloyd is the President and dictator for Life of the country (well ok, technically of that part of River House), I suggest you show him the proper respect. He has to dress in a Russian Marshals uniform, including landing pad hat and an assortment of medals. Every time he… Read more »
lol!
And is it just me or does Justin look more like Biggles in that hat than an actual Russian tank commander from the Cold War era? Tally Ho old boy!
tbh he looks a bit like Lenin..
is it me our does justin look like odd ball from kellys heros
Odd Ball is spot on
“I mean like so many positive waves maybe we can’t lose!”
Just need Justin to do some dog impressions..
yup.
Definitely! Now I’m never going to not see him as the character. XD
Wonder how long it will be before they add other nations to this game?
The Periscope seems to work fine, ju gotta learn how it works 😛
Those Huey sprues look awesome but I´m more of a hind guy myself. Pls ask whats next for team yankee, more US/USSR or more nation – holding me thumbs for Swedish forces ^^
Comrad Justin looks like OddBall from Kelly’s Heroes. Lol.
Good luck for the weekend and the tables look fantastic.
Woof woof
That’s a serious set up guys. Great to see the hard work pay off, enjoy the weekend.
Bring on the carnage.
Looking forward to this guys.
Looking forward to all of the coverage this weekend.
I do wonder how the Soviet players will handle the relatively monotonous army composition they’ll be having; some infantry to drop out of those Hinds would make things really interesting, for instance.
This is going to be epic 🙂
I saw the weekend special and went WHAAAT?
This is great guys!
Been following the coming Team Yankee release at ‘Breakthrough assault’ blog for weeks now. Really hyped about this modern setting and simplefied ruled.
Imagine the sadness when the release crept to the end of 2015, now 2 weeks delay because of production setbacks.
Ah well, we all want our oys yesterday. Like Beasts of war apparently 🙂 has.
But for now I’ll enjoy you sharing all things Team Yankee. Thank guys for doing this.
Team Yankee, yeah!
I am so exited! I have alredy started to stat out some swedish forces for ww3. Dammit be the 12th of december already I have saved my christmas money fot this 😀
Another great Bootcamp… damn, why am I living in germany…
It is only a flight away
Really excited about this! I’m looking forward to interjecting as many Schwarzenegger and Stallone (amongst others) quotes into all my games. My opponents are gonna love me.
GET TO THE CHOPPA
Looking forward to this
I hope the game is as good as flames of war ww2, and I hope can get it XD
