Support The Free Nation French With New Team Yankee Releases

July 17, 2018 by brennon

Battlefront adds more support for the Free Nations of Team Yankee to their webstore as we move through July. A new set of vehicles and sections of infantry are going to be there to help the push of the French against their Soviet enemies.

We start with the VAB Transport Platoon which gives you some more options for getting your troops into the heart of the action and then protecting them as they secure objectives.

Each of these transports could carry ten men and will be perfect for keeping your troops safe in urban environments when attacks could come from anywhere. The machine guns on the top give them some anti-personnel capabilities too.

If you're going to be coming up against some armoured targets then that's where the VAB Mephisto Anti-tank Platoon comes in.

These little vehicles are incredibly powerful and a superb addition to the arsenal. Their guided missiles systems could range in on enemy tanks and deliver a killing blow from outside of their oppositions effective range making them incredibly good at stopping the enemy advance in its tracks.

As well as the vehicles we have some infantry kits coming your way with a standard Infantry Platoon to begin with.

The set includes one Formation Commander FAMAS Rifle Team, five FAMAS team with AC-58 anti-tank, one APILAS anti-tank team, and two LRAC 89mm anti-tank teams. It gives you a good core of troops for holding down an objective and dealing with larger armoured targets if you need to as well.

It is a crew designed to work alongside the French armour we've looked at already. One of the neat things about infantry is that they can pop out of windows, fire at armoured targets and then duck away back into cover very easily.

Talking of taking out big targets they have also designed this Milan Section set as well.

The set contains ten of these squads armed with the guided missiles that could be used from long range to take out tanks on the move. If you have some of these men set up in an ambush you could do some serious damage to the enemy before they even get close to their objectives.

What do you reckon to the new kits?
