Battlefront Build On Canadian & NATO Forces For Team Yankee
June 13, 2018 by brennon
Battlefront has been building up new forces for you to use in Team Yankee. The focus over the last few weeks has been on building up both the Canadian and NATO forces. For example, the NATO's Front Line set comes with a good starting force to use in the game.
But, beyond that, you still have some great new kits to help bulk out your force and give you additional options as you face down the Russian threat. NATO get the M109 Field Battery which is able to lay down some withering fire on your enemies.
This vehicle has been deployed on every front of the war for the NATO forces and as a rolling howitzer, it is a dangerous beast, capable of dealing with enemy fortifications, tanks and more. You can even drop this into your Canadian force if you like.
Too Nice To Fight?
Speaking of Canadians, they might be a nice people, but they sure don't hold back when it comes to a scrap. They have some additional vehicular support with the M113 Platoon in plastic which helps you roll your soldiers right up onto enemy positions.
Working in a combined arms sense you also have the ADATS Air Defence Platoon which will be watching the skies for fighter jets, helicopters and the like that threaten to swarm your advancing column of troops.
It's nice to see that the narrative of Team Yankee has expanded beyond the war in Europe and now takes to new theatres as you work out how the conflict would play out on a global scale.
It would be awesome to maybe see some companies working on troops in 28mm to fit this period too as it would be interesting to develop some skirmishes in that scale away from the big tanks, telling a more personal story of the battle between these titanic forces.
What do you think of the additions for Canada and NATO?

Those are really nice.
The Canadiens may have the best balanced force. It will be interesting to see them head out onto the tabletop so we can see what they do. The ADATS may be a bit dear in points and cash but that is an interesting piece to throw out, they may garner more than their fair share of attention.
A great armoured unit.
Canadian force is still European theatre in this regard. 4th Mech brigade among others were station at Lahr and Baden-Sollingen from early 50’s through the 90’s
As a Canadian, i am really excited about these releases. Just picked up the book Free Nations and for a while, I said i would make a French force but now, Canadians all the way. As much as i like tanks, I think this will be a Mech INf. force just so i have a change.
Additional, as much as the ADATS is nice, and the Sgt. York for the US, i am always hesitant to use stuff that was never really operational, always nice as an add on and what i may do is use the model but use the stats of the operational equipment. Just a suggestion where you can show the vehicle but not worry about the made up stats.
