Good damn… i think this could be exactly my kind of game… I am such an 80s child… 😀
Looks so much fun, really am going to have to score some brownie points with the other half to get over to one.
Let the yanks destroy Lloydislavia…….crush the Reds on the fields of eggplants…. Reduce the town to rubble…
Woohoo. I’m gunna have to do one of these boot camps me thinks!

** hurriedly starts flipping through rule book . . .
“How does this %@#^ work again??”
I thought the Dogs of War was what you had with chips/fries last night, Oriskany.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your American brethren at the bootcamp.
GIVE US BLOOD
(The metal being played in the video clips is starting to get to me)
Cant wait for this to expand, really hope they add some other nations in for more variation. Waited for this since the first day it was announced.
Happy hunting!
I really wait to see how interact with the high speed of TY units and the classic tabletop measures!
This is so exiting, russian vs american looks great
Arrgggghhhh every boot camp gets me excited about the gaming system.. But this time I cant help it the tanks are just too cool for school.. Need to get my buddies on board..
Really excited to see this, I have always wanted to play cold war. I’m particularly interested in the British when they release.
I’ll be in for BAOR units too. Especially if we get Chieftains.
Not sure but chieftain silhouettes are used in the start of the rule book so fingers crossed!
Happy Gaming!
Cool, exciting stuff! Will be a cool weekend.
Cheers!
I think that playing a game of Twilight Struggle the board game could be a great way to start a campagin of team yankee. Just to get more emerced in the cold war era and build a great prolog to the game.
For Those Who dont know, Twilight Struggle is a two player board game where one player controls the US and the other control soviet during the cold war. The goal is to control most of the world while not triggering nuclear war. Great historical game, Definetly worth checking out.
Yeah Twilight stuggel is hands down one of my top 5 best bordgames, it is soooo fun and scary^^
Easily in the top 5. Possibly the best boardgame ever.
Definetly on my top 5 as well. No miniatures or awesome artwork but it suits the game perfectly. I can not think of any board game that has captureded the flavour of an era as good as this one has.
Pour it on. Let em have it!
“Gunner – 2 tanks, T-72s – left tank!”
“Identified! Load Sabot!”
“Sabot up!”
“Fire!”
“On the Waaaay!”
