Battlefront Bring The Free Nations Into Play For Team Yankee
April 16, 2018 by brennon
The Battlefront team, as you might have heard over the weekend, have been working towards a new book for Team Yankee. Free Nations brings into play Canadian, French, Dutch and Australian Forces for you to use in World War III.
Adding more options for you to play around with in Team Yankee is always good, pushing you to do some gaming in the gaps and such. This book contains information on...
- Background on the 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, French Armée de Terre, the Netherlands 1. Korps, and the Australian and New Zealand ANZAC Brigade.
- Instructions on how to build...
- A Canadian Leopard C1 Armoured Squadron or an M113 Mechanized Company,
- A French AMX-30 Escadron Blindé, AMX-10P Compagnie de Chasseurs, AMX-10 RC Escadron de Cavalerie, or VAB Compagnie d’Infanterie,
- A Dutch Leopard 2 Tank Eskadron, Leopard 1 Tank Eskadron, Pantserinfanterie Compagnie, or Verkennings Eskadron,
- An Australian Leopard AS1 Armoured Squadron, or M113 Mechanised Company.
- Three scenarios featuring the forces of Free Nations.
- A detailed painting guide to help you prepare your army.
Which all sounds rather awesome indeed. Of course, this book isn't the only option available for you as you will need some armies to play as. That's where these guys come in.
New Allies
The first of the new boxes is NATO's First Line.
The box comes with some ace plastic models to get you going as well as the additional accessories, transfers and such that you need to mark them up. You will get three Leopard I Tanks and two BO-105 Helicopters which will be protecting them in their advance.
As well as this you have the French forces joining the fighting with their own units. Durand's Devils are ready to make the enemy pay.
You get the same sort of accessories here as well as plastic models for the AMX-30 Tanks or AMX AuF1 SP Howitzers (depending on your preferences) and also some air support in the form of the Gazelle Helicopters which look awesome, like little dragonflies!
What do you think of these sets and which one will you be picking up?

Team Yankee has become a huge money sink for me. I somehow manage to like *ALL* of the things.
Does anyone know if the Free Nations book will include unit cards to use existing models (like the M113) in these new armies like they did with “Volksarmee”?
I imagine there will be – with such enormous cross-over between the Nato forces it makes more sense to release unit cards (and transfer sheets) to supplement existing boxes than to have to produce specific boxes for each nation.
Money money money, I used to have some now I have little tanks. And I need more!
LOL … yeah, that’s the problem with BoW in general.
Somehow they manage to convince us to convert our money into plastic/metal/resin/etc.
feeding the plastic crack addiction haha
Great new units for the front line.
I’m loving those French. Always been a fan of the AMX.
this is not what TY needs right now.
more enemys from the east (or something a bit more modern for russia then t72ural) is what the game desepratly needs.
There are already also t-64s (and a T-80 wished by so many wouldn’t differ too much gamestat-wise).
But another Warsaw Pact army book would be really nice after the coming additions to NATO.
I can’t wait for the Canadians. Finally my dream of recasting Red Dawn as a Soviet invasion of Alaska is within sight!
I think it’s a good idea – there’s so much proliferation of each other’s equipment, a composite supplement like this is a sensible way of bringing everything together. Hopefully there’ll be a similar arrangement for the rest of the Warsaw pact.
Agree and then see if they expand the “war” to the other possible fronts.
China be interesting, as would the middle east…
I want to play out the Korean Pennisula and see how ANZAC, ROK and USA UN forces will do against a NK force backed by China and/or USSR.
that would be awesome – plenty of mountainous terrain, large amounts of artillery, naval support for ANZAC landings 🙂
Yep super urban with super rural and the mountainous terrain. So many options and you could also have a crazy meter to see what would happen.
Gazelle sells it to me.
