If you're working on the British this weekend show us your hobbying!
Got out of Flames quite a while back, but this looks interesting and may be worth a try at a local store or wargames show
I was only just looking Team Yankee and Iron Maiden today, I’ve not really had an interest before but I must have subliminally scanned it while browsing BoW and it’s just starting niggling me. I’m have trouble choosing a nation though, this launch could swing it in Britain’s favour! 🙂
This will get me motivated to finally crack open those two Leopard 2 platoons I have to build . . . 😀
You’re missing out @Oriskany. Those big cats are a great kit to build.
Hey, what’s up @benc ! 😀 Always great to hear from another Lloydoslavia veteran. Yeah, I pre-ordered these guys back in late July, finally got them in early September. I keep meaning to get into them, but clearing up the last bits of the BattleTech project. The Leopard 2s are definitely my next big build / paint project.
hey jim, so you’re not going to succumb to ‘Shiny syndrome’ and get the Brits as well??? 😉
What many of us have been waiting for! Going to be an awesome weekend!
We have a lot of people in the area who have been waiting for the brits.
I’ve been really looking forward to this. I have the novel in hand and am just about to start reading, plus I’ve picked up a couple of extra books covering british forces and armoured divisions so I’m all set to go full Iron Maiden. I’m just wondering if I’m good enough at painting to tackle the Berlin Brigade urban paint scheme.
I think I will have to get some of those Chieftains! I seem to recall that was the first airfix model tank I got as a present.
having served for nine years in the 80’s these really bring back memories
Whenever I hear ‘Iron Maiden’ I can’t help by wonder when Eddie is going to show up …
only to be reminded that it’s Team Yankee and not the latest cd from a certain British heavy metal band.
Obligatory link to The Trooper :

Soviet tanks just got primer so soon there will be some new minis and the brits look good and will supplement my m1s. I do wonder when they get the 80s equipment done if they will move on in timeline to more modern equipment? The Team Yankee fictional world works on moving the timeline of gaming forward as true personal scars won’t be as wide spread. Hopefully this will get us to even more modern equipment. Lastly can’t wait to see if the Chinese / N Korea stuff will be on the future list of releases. So many options to… Read more »
This system keeps looking better and better.
And this is where I join in on Team Yankee! 😀
I’ll be off to my FLGS first thing Saturday morning to pick up the IM book and the Brit starter set. I’ve got my 100 points of Soviets where I want them and the Brits will be my other main force. I bought the W German box (because Leopards!) but didn’t go any further than that.
Very tempted by this, I do hope Battlefront release a Partizan force, then I can get some Twilight 2000 gaming in.
British haven’t made it to Pennsylvania yet, but I’m hoping to put a big dent in finishing up my West Germans this weekend.

Brits are the ones I’m interested in. Can’t wait to see the coverage!
So what was the inspiration for the book title? The metal band, Margaret Thatcher, or the torture device?
Thatcher was the Iron Lady … I doubt she was a maiden at that time 😉
The torture device may have never been used as such :

I’m very tempted to pick up a Starter Set go up against the Russians I got at the bootcamp. I trained in a Cheftain many, many years ago. Great fun.
i’m buzzing for John , he’s going to be like a kid in a sweet shop.
I been holding off on getting in til I see if the Israel Defense Forces get in the game but these Brits are quite tempting. Have to hold off at lest until an unboxing.
I’ve never really been into historical style games but there is something about team yankee that hits the right nerve, perhaps its the A10 warthogs – they are always a welcome addition
Very keen to see the Brits finally join Team Yankee
Yes been waiting for this game on
The Brits have been what I was waiting for.
Yep, the Brits are the ones I’ve been waiting for too. I am sooo chuffed that we have Chieftains, I’m going to be trying the Berlin urban camo!
Masking tape at the ready…
